Company Description

Mountainside ABA is an autism support organization founded in 2017 to provide high-quality, individualized ABA therapy services within local communities. The organization serves families across multiple locations in West Virginia and the Winchester area of Virginia, emphasizing the importance of community members serving their own communities. Mountainside ABA has played a key role in expanding access to ABA therapy by advocating for Medicaid coverage in West Virginia, developing skilled ABA providers, and opening trusted local centers where children can thrive.
