Provider of Digitized Applied Behavior Analysis

Mapped directly to the ABLLS-R assessment, ABA Tools offers a diverse array of relevant images designed to promote verbal behavior ​​in individuals with a developmental disability such as autism spectrum disorder. The company’s innovative applied behavior analysis digital materials can be used in a classroom, home, or other educational setting in place of traditional flashcards. Utilizing the digital learning materials developed by ABA Tools eliminates the need for ABA practitioners to source, maintain, and organize physical materials used during therapy, thus allowing the therapist to focus on the learner, not the materials. ABA Tools’ customizable apps can also help streamline the data collection process when being used with a child.

This marks the eighth acquisition that CentralReach has made in the past two years and the sixth acquisition to support its investment in its clinical suite including the acquisition of ABLLS-R to provide a fully-integrated skills-based system of assessment, curriculum, and tracking and Avail Support to provide assistive technology with the capability to accelerate the care plan by digitally supporting and reinforcing an individual’s clinical care plan outside of the in-person sessions. 

Financial details of the acquisition were not disclosed.
