Reach the people who actually run ABA.

Breaking News ABA is the only newsroom 100% dedicated to Applied Behavior Analysis. BCBAs, RBTs, clinic owners, and operators read us because we cut through the press-release noise. If you sell to ABA — software, billing, staffing, services — this is where they're paying attention.

Who actually reads us.

Not "behavioral health." Not "autism services." ABA professionals — the clinicians and operators making purchasing, hiring, and clinical decisions inside ABA practices.

The only ABA-only news source on the internet.

Every other behavioral health publication treats ABA as a sub-vertical. We treat it as the field. That's the whole pitch.

ABA-only audience

No spillover. No "behavioral health adjacent." When a reader clicks through, they're a BCBA, RBT, or clinic operator — not a hospice nurse or addiction counselor browsing a shared portfolio site.

Editorial credibility, not a brochure

BNA is a newsroom. Our readers trust us because we don't run press-release voice. Sponsored content gets edited to match — no buyer-side fluff, no "leverage synergies." It earns its placement.

Direct line to the field

The ABA Weekly News goes to clinicians and operators every Thursday at 8am CT. Open rates well above industry standard. They actually read it because we don't pad it with garbage.

Stories that moved the field.

When BNA breaks a story, the industry reads it. Here's what our reporting did in the last 90 days.

The 2027 CPT Code Changes Every ABA Provider Needs to Know

Six new CPT codes. The death of T-codes. Most ABA providers hadn't read the details — until we summarized them. Reposted across LinkedIn by BCBAs and billing leads.

The audience tells you exactly what they think.

Real quotes from BNA readers on LinkedIn. No paid placements, no exchanged favors.

"You all, whoever you are, do great work! Keep it up."

"I just found this resource today. Seems very informative for the ABA industry."

Common questions.

Do you accept all advertisers?

No. We turn down vendors whose products we wouldn't recommend to a BCBA we like. The most common rejections: predatory financing offers, anything cosmetically tied to ABA but actually selling to general autism parenting markets, and any vendor that's been publicly accused of mistreating staff or clients. List integrity is the product.

Will you write the article for me?

No, we won't

Can I see performance data after my campaign runs?

Always. Newsletter and email products include opens, clicks, and CTR. Banner ads include impressions, clicks, and CTR. Sponsored articles include pageviews and time-on-page. Reports go out within 7 days of campaign end.

What's the FTC disclosure policy?

Sponsored Articles are clearly labeled per FTC native advertising guidelines. Banner and newsletter ads are visually distinct from editorial content. Readers know what's editorial and what's paid, which is why they trust us with the editorial.

Do you offer custom packages or annual deals beyond the Founding Partner bundle?

Yes. If you have a specific campaign — product launch, conference push, hiring blitz — tell us what you're trying to do and we'll quote it. Annual deals beyond the Founding Partner bundle are negotiated case by case.

How do I know my ad will reach actual ABA professionals?

Our subscriber list is grown organically through the site, direct outreach to ABA professionals and ads. You can request a list-composition snapshot before signing.

What are the ad specs and creative deadlines?

Sponsored Article: Brief or rough draft accepted (600–800 words). LinkedIn post copy written by BNA. See the "How We Work" section for the full timeline.

Newsletter 1st Position + LinkedIn: 600×300px image + 50-word copy + CTA URL · JPG or PNG · max 150KB · creative due Tuesday for Thursday send. Companion LinkedIn post written by BNA from the same creative.

Run-of-Site Banner: 728×90 leaderboard or 300×250 sidebar · JPG, PNG, or static GIF · max 200KB · creative due 5 business days before launch.

What are the payment terms?

À la carte: invoiced on delivery, Net 15. Annual packages: 50% on signing, 50% at the start of Q3, or quarterly billing on request. We accept ACH, wire, and major credit cards. No long-form contracts — a one-page IO covers it.
