Essential Speech and ABA Therapy

ABA, Speech, and Occupational Therapy – All in One Place

Essential Speech and ABA Therapy was founded by three dedicated Speech-Language Pathologists who witnessed firsthand the challenges families face when piecing together services across multiple providers. They knew there had to be a better way. So, they created a model where services are fully integrated, collaborative, and delivered in a warm, child-centered environment designed to make life easier for parents and more effective for children.

WHY FRANCHISE WITH ESSENTIAL SPEECH AND ABA THERAPY?

The demand for high-quality autism treatment continues to surge.

• 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism, a number expected to grow (CDC, 2021).
• Yet, there are just 1,656 autism treatment centers to serve 6.8 million individuals in the U.S. (LaRosa, 2022).

Parents are actively searching for early intervention programs that offer full-day, full-service care in one location. Essential Speech and ABA Therapy stands out by offering:

• A full-service clinical model that prioritizes collaboration between ABA, speech, and OT providers
• Proven administrative and billing systems to simplify operations
• A franchise model built for scalability and sustainability in the healthcare space
• An experienced support team with deep industry knowledge

The average unit volume (AUV) of an Essential Speech and ABA Therapy franchisee billing for all 52 weeks in 2024 was $1,113,891*.
