The structural gap
in ABA accountability

The ABA field is experiencing unprecedented consolidation. Private equity firms have acquired hundreds of providers, and annual staff turnover rates exceed 77-103%.

A BCBA can lose their certification for an ethics violation. But the company that created the conditions for that violation? No consequences. No accountability. No record.

ESBAP changes that. We make organizational behavior visible — and let stakeholders act on it.

"I started working on ESBAP in 2018 because I saw a gap that nobody was filling. The BACB does important work governing individual practitioners — but organizations were operating without accountability."

"Eight years later, with 15 years of data from Special Learning and direct experience serving 28,000+ ABA professionals across 140+ countries, we're finally building the system I always envisioned."

"Individually, we are powerless. Collectively, we are strong."
