The Ethics Standards Board for ABA Providers (ESBAP) is a public directory that makes ABA provider ownership transparent, allowing users to see if a provider is BCBA-owned, backed by private equity, or has another ownership structure. It is an initiative of Special Learning, Inc. in partnership with Dr. Jon Bailey.
Provider ownership directly impacts clinical quality and staff retention. According to a 2025 CentralReach report, PE-backed ABA firms have up to 103% annual staff turnover, while top-performing, ethically-run agencies have turnover as low as 25%. Ownership transparency helps families, clinicians, and job seekers make informed decisions.
You can use the ESBAP directory above to filter for providers listed with a "BCBA-Owned" or "BCBA-D-Owned" ownership structure. Use the ownership type dropdown or click the "BCBA-Owned Only" quick filter.
ESBAP verifies ownership through publicly available sources including SEC filings, press releases, company websites, BACB registry data, and LinkedIn professional profiles. Entries marked "Pending Verification" are unconfirmed and subject to change. Organizations can claim their profile to update and verify their information.
