[quote=Anonymous]KKI in Baltimore is amazing. It's also a site used for demonstration when they train educators to work with ASD kids.

KKI also has a great program for small group speech called Achievements, it's 2.5 hrs per day and is covered by some insurances. Logistics can be challenging though commuting from VA.

When picking an ABA setting always get parents feedback from local SN listserves or search this forum. Ask whether parents can observe sessions, what tenure the RBTs have with the company (turnover an minimal training are very common), whether they have the RBT credential or it's in progress, and ask how they match kids in small groups. If your friend's son has language and no behaviors he should be matched with kids with similar foundational skills.

Sorry the resources are mostly MD based. One other piece of advice I got was to look for private daycares affiliated with Jewish congregations - they emphasize inclusion and often allow a specialist to come in for kids with any type of disability (ie. a speech therapist or an ABA shadow).
