A sponsorship program, not an ad marketplace
Help good ABA businesses survive and thrive.
ABA Business Challenges, powered by ABA Impact, is a community of 13,000+ founders, owner-operators and clinical leaders building businesses under real pressure: Medicaid uncertainty, payer denials, compliance demands, and the fragility that comes with growing too fast on too little infrastructure. We produce the content, community and education that help them get through the early years and scale without breaking. Vendor sponsorship is how we fund that work and keep it within reach of the founders who need it most.
- 13,000+
- ABA professionals in the community
- ~50%
- Owners, decision-makers and influencers
- 1 Gold
- Sponsor per category, for twelve months
Only at Gold: category exclusivity for twelve months. No competing vendor holds Gold in your category for a full year. Bronze and Silver are shared placements.
Why this program exists
Why does ABA Impact take sponsors?
Demand for ABA keeps growing. Families wait months for care, and the clinical need has never been clearer. But the businesses providing that care are under more pressure than they've been in a decade: reimbursement is tightening, Medicaid policy keeps shifting, audit expectations are climbing, and the margin for error keeps getting thinner.
Many of the founders in this community are clinicians who started a practice because they cared about a specific child, a specific family, a specific gap. Now they're expected to run a business in a regulated industry while still showing up clinically. Most weren't trained for that, and many are paying for consulting that doesn't move the needle.
ABA Impact exists because that gap closes good businesses before they get the chance to thrive. Sponsorship lets us keep our education within reach, invest in new resources as the field changes, and give vendors who genuinely serve this market a way to support the work while reaching the operators they're built for.
A note from our CEO
Most of the vendors who serve this field genuinely care about it. A lot of you have a personal connection to the autism community: a sibling, a child, a student, a reason you ended up in this work at all. That's part of why we built this program the way we did.
ABA Impact isn't an ad marketplace. It's a community we've spent years moderating, protecting and pouring back into. Sponsorship funds the moderation, the content and the education. In return, you get a structured way to show up inside that trust without flooding it.
If the model makes sense to you, I'd rather have a short conversation than send a brochure. Reserve a category below and we'll talk.
For vendors
Category access to a high-trust audience that's actively making operational decisions.
For ABA founders
A vetted partner in each category, not a flood of competing pitches.
For ABA Impact
Funding that keeps the community moderated, the Foundation course free and the standards high.
The community
Who would my sponsorship reach?
A heavily moderated community focused on operations and survivability, without the promotional noise that has worn down most professional groups.
13,000+ ABA professionals
Active members of the ABA Business Challenges community on Facebook, growing every week through referral.
~50% owners or decision-makers
Founders, clinical directors and operators who buy software, services and compliance support.
High signal, heavily moderated
Built around business operations, compliance, scale and leadership. Not a complaint forum or a clinical Q&A board.
Members also see our eBCBA™ Blueprint courses, the orientation program for clinicians moving into ownership, so your placement reaches established operators and the next wave of founders.
The model
Bronze and Silver share the community. Gold owns the category.
Bronze and Silver place you alongside other approved vendors in your category, with structured visibility and a predictable cadence. Gold makes you the only Gold sponsor in your category for twelve months, so when a founder is looking for a billing partner, you're the billing company they see. Sponsorship revenue goes back into the work: moderation, content, education, and keeping our resources within reach.
Every tier includes
- 12-month placement inside the community
- Group Expert badge
- Featured Vendor list inclusion
- An approved posting cadence inside the group
- At least one pinned post per quarter
What we won't do
- Sell Gold in your category to a competitor while you hold it
- Allow promotional flooding that erodes trust
- Run fear-based or hype-driven campaigns on your behalf
- Promise outcomes we can't deliver

FAQ
Questions vendors usually ask
- What if the Gold slot in the category I want is already taken?
- Bronze and Silver are still available in that category; you just won't be exclusive. If you need Gold specifically, we'll offer the closest open category, or put you on a notification list in case the current Gold sponsor doesn't renew. No deposits and no waitlist fees.
- Can I sponsor more than one category?
- Yes, with approval. Multi-category sponsorships are reviewed individually to make sure they still serve the community.
- What does "approved post" mean?
- Every sponsor post is reviewed by our moderation team before it goes live. We won't block reasonable promotional content; we make sure it's framed in a way that respects the audience.
- Is sponsorship an annual commitment?
- Yes. Every tier is a twelve-month placement. We don't run shorter terms because they erode the structure of the model.
- What happens after I reserve a category?
- A short call to confirm fit, a walkthrough of the agreement, signed paperwork, then onboarding inside the community. It typically takes 5 to 10 business days from reservation to live placement.
- Who do I talk to if I have questions before reserving?
- Reserve with "Just exploring" as your timeline, or email sponsor@abaimpact.com. We respond within one business day.
If you run an ABA business
What sponsorship means for you.
Maybe a vendor forwarded this, or you clicked through by accident. Either way, it's worth being direct about what this program is and isn't.
We charge for eBCBA™ Odyssey because serious, ongoing education costs money to produce. We've priced it to stay within reach, and we keep the Foundation course free and permanent so no founder is locked out of the starting point.
Sponsorship doesn't change what we charge you. It changes what we can build for you: moderation, open content, community programming and expanded education that would otherwise come out of member pricing.
We don't sell vendors your data, your contact information or your attention. Sponsors follow the same moderation rules as everyone else, and a sponsor who uses their position to break community trust loses it. If that ever stops being true, call us on it.
Twelve categories. One Gold sponsor per category. A year of partnership built around a mission worth funding.
