Course Description

In the dynamic landscape of ABA, entrepreneurs often face the challenge of securing funding to launch and sustain their business. Oftentimes, business owners are driven to secure private equity funding by partnering with investors. This has raised legitimate concerns including increasing pressure on clinicians to forego their ethical responsibilities, the proliferation of short term profits while sacrificing clients' wellbeing, its consequent strain on clinicians (Scheffler et al., 2021); and ultimately, the watering down of our beloved science of behavior. Therefore, it is critical that ABA business owners look for alternative avenues to funding. This discussion will aim to provide alternative strategies and opportunities for finding funding in the behavioral health sector. Our expert panelists, representing diverse backgrounds in fundraising, entrepreneurship, and behavior analysis, will engage in an interactive dialogue to address critical aspects of funding acquisition.

What You'll Learn

  1. Explain the basic criteria and characteristics of free funding opportunities vs other financial options.
  2. Identify common challenges associated with funding a startup business in ABA.
  3. Analyze the potential impact of securing free funding on the sustainability and growth of an ABA business.
