What Clinicians Are Saying

When I started 9 years ago there truly was no one to reach out for support. I'm passionate about Headstart because it allows BCBAs to skip years of trial and error. If I had a support network like Headstart back then I would have been able to avoid so many pitfalls and instead focus on why I got into the business -- my clients and their success.

Over the years, I have spoken to many passionate BCBAs who have dreamt of owning their own practice. Unfortunately, the process always seemed too daunting. I am excited that, by partnering with Headstart, dedicated BCBAs can achieve their dream! Through ongoing operational and clinical resources, you get all the support you need from day one to build an ethical practice focused on high-quality ABA.

Starting my own practice gave me the freedom I had always wanted in my career, but finding the right support was incredibly challenging. I wish I had partnered with Headstart from the beginning, as their guidance and resources would have made a world of difference. My goal was to be able to provide the best possible care to my families, which is exactly what Headstart enables for BCBAs!

I’ve observed firsthand the challenges that BCBAs face when starting a practice, and I recognized the need for a solution that demystifies the process while reducing the risks. I am thrilled to see Headstart build a platform that handles the complexities of starting and running a practice so BCBAs are empowered to focus solely on delivering exceptional care!
