Annual List Recognizes the Industry-Leading Companies That Are the Best at What They Do
ABA Centers, the fastest growing autism care provider in the United States, is proud to announce its inclusion on the 2024 Inc. Best in Business list in the “Health Services” and the “Robust and Powerful” categories. The annual Inc. Best in Business list celebrates the exceptional achievements and contributions of companies that have made a profound impact on their industries and on society at large.
This is the second time in the company’s four-year history that it has been selected for the Inc. Best in Business list. This recognition comes on the heels of ABA Centers making its debut on this year’s Inc. 5000 as the No. 5 fastest growing private company in America due to an outstanding revenue growth of 32,192 percent in the three-year period assessed for the list. A de novo and self-funded growth strategy set ABA Centers apart – and ahead – of thousands of other enterprises vying for a spot on this highly coveted line-up. The organization has carved out a self-sufficient path to success that has proven to be substantial and sustainable, without any private equity investment, nor any significant debt financing.
This growth was spurred in part by the company’s geographic expansion. This year, ABA Centers strengthened its footprint along the East Coast and expanded westward, now providing evidence-backed autism care in 34 service markets throughout 10 states. Within these markets, ABA Centers currently operates 26 physical autism care centers, with plans to open nearly 40 new locations throughout the coming New Year.
“We are deeply honored to receive this recognition, which reflects the dedication of our incredible team and the trust placed in us by the kiddos and the families we serve,” remarks Jason Barker, Chief Executive Officer of ABA Centers. “At our core, we are committed to creating brighter futures for children with autism, and this award motivates us to continue innovating and expanding access to world class care.”
The Inc. Best in Business list recognizes companies that, through exceptional execution, have achieved significant milestones and core business wins. Inc. editors and reporters hand-review every application and select Best in Business honorees that, in each of the award categories, have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole. Just 241 companies and 16 business leaders were selected from an applicant pool that was incredibly competitive, with thousands of candidates across a wide range of industries – such as technology, healthcare, finance, and retail – vying to be selected.
“For over 40 years Inc. has been committed to recognizing America’s most dynamic businesses and honoring the great work they do. These businesses have had a profound impact on their industries, solving important problems, and shaping the future of business in ways that will have lasting effects,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Mike Hofman.
