Why the Demand for ABA Therapy in Miami is Growing—And Why FamiliesDeserve Better

If you’ve tried to find ABA therapy services in Miami recently, you already know—it’s not easy.

With autism diagnoses on the rise, especially among young children, the demand for high-quality, ethical ABA services has surged. Miami-Dade and Broward County, in particular, are seeing this trend more than ever. According to recent data, Florida ranks in the top 5 states for autism diagnoses, and over 1 in 36 children in the U.S. is now identified as having autism spectrum disorder (CDC, 2023). With that increase, ABA therapy has become one of the most sought-after interventions.

And businesses have taken notice.

On average, multiple new ABA companies are opening in Miami each month. While more providers may seem like a good thing, the reality is more complicated. We’re seeing a flood of companies jumping into this field—not because they’re passionate about supporting families, but because they see dollar signs.

This has created a very real problem: families are struggling to find services they can trust.

Medicaid Families Are Being Hurt the Most

Unfortunately, Medicaid recipients are being hit the hardest. With a growing number of companies engaging in unethical billing, minimal oversight, and hiring unqualified staff, the Medicaid system has become overwhelmed. As a result, many families who depend on Medicaid are now facing longer waitlists, increased scrutiny, and fewer reliable options.

While Beehavior ABA Therapy is not currently credentialed with Medicaid, we deeply understand and empathize with families caught in this situation. We’ve worked with many parents who have spent months on waiting lists or bounced between providers that didn’t follow through. It’s frustrating, it’s disheartening—and it’s not the kind of care anyone deserves.

We’re Not Just Another ABA Company

At Beehavior ABA Therapy, we don’t treat families like numbers. We don’t overpromise and underdeliver. And we’re definitely not here just to profit from a vulnerable population.

We are clinician-led, with a deep belief in doing things the right way—even when it’s not the easiest way. That means:

• Every client gets a treatment plan that is genuinely individualized, not copy-pasted.

• All supervision is handled by a BCBA who actually knows your child.

• We work with private insurance and scholarships, making services accessible while still providing top-quality care.

• We focus on real, meaningful progress, not just billing hours.

Most importantly, we’re local. We’re from here. We know the schools, the neighborhoods, the culture, and the challenges.
