Why Families Choose On Target ABA in Columbus, Ohio

The Pediatrician’s Go-to ABA Referral

Pediatricians refer their patients to On Target ABA. We’ve earned that trust from our years of seeing real progress in hundreds of children.

Smaller Caseloads for Individual Care

Our BCBAs have a small caseload with only 8-10 children, compared to the industry standard of 20+. That difference shapes their heart-centered care. Our therapists get to know your child really well, to help them achieve their personal best.

Therapy That Feels Like Play

At On Target ABA, therapy is built around play, wherever it happens. Whether your child is climbing in our sensory gym or working through real-life challenges at home or school, sessions feel more like fun than work. No wonder they don’t want to stop!

Sessions After the School Bell

We know what afternoons look like when you’re juggling regular work and life, plus an adorable kid who needs extra support. We offer after-school sessions so your child can receive the help they need, when it works for you.
