ABS Kids to Strengthen Autism Care With Plans for New Centers, Services in 2025

SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--In its continued efforts to expand access to applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, ABS Kids, a leading provider of ABA therapy services to children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), plans to grow its services by opening additional centers and offering group therapy options in 2025.

With autism diagnoses in children rising to approximately 2.8% in the U.S. as of 2023, ABS Kids remains dedicated to expanding access to ABA therapy. Starting in 2025, ABS Kids will be introducing group therapy programs to more of its centers. Group therapy serves as a powerful intervention that complements individualized ABA therapy. In group therapy settings, children can experience a sense of belonging and gain a supportive environment to develop and practice essential social skills.

“We are excited to expand our reach and diversify our therapy options through the introduction of group therapy,” Jeff Skibitsky, founder and president of ABS Kids, said. “This addition to our therapy solutions will provide families with more tailored and flexible solutions, ensuring that each child can access support that works best for them.”

Along with the addition of new service offerings coming in 2025, ABS Kids is planning to continue its expansion into South Carolina with new centers opening in Greenville.

“By entering this market, we aim to provide families with access to early diagnosis and evidence-based care, which are proven to help children with autism achieve meaningful milestones,” Skibitsky said. “Greenville has demonstrated a growing demand for specialized autism services, and we are committed to addressing that need with innovative care and family-centered support.”

In 2024, ABS Kids expanded its footprint by opening its first centers in South Carolina. These additions contributed to its growing network of 36 total centers across California, North Carolina, Tennessee and Utah, including seven new centers.
