We're fairly new to the world of ASD and ABA. Having had an informal assessment with a major ABA provider last week, we are slightly confused about what to do. The provider we spoke to has an excellent reputation, although seems (very, very, very) expensive and told us that they currently have a waiting list. We are very keen to get started ASAP and asked about the possibility of starting with another consultant or organisation until they have a space available.
They said it was a possibility but said that is wasn't a preferred choice as 'the other providers in this country don't have the same standards' as them. If we went down that path then we would be wasting our money as as soon as our child transferred to ABA with them he would have a regression at having to start again.
So confused at what to do. Want to wait for this provider, which is very close in location to us but gulping at the costs and anxious about spending another 6 months waiting whilst we could have started elsewhere.
Any advice would be much appreciated...

Are all ABA providers of the same standard?
