Why ABA Actually?

We saw a need for parents

We're Sydney Horn, MA, BCBA and Katlynn Burns, M.Ed., BCBA: two BCBAs and friends who saw a need for parents. A place where parents could find clear, practical, evidence-based information about autism and Applied Behavior Analysis.

That's why we created ABA Actually.

Our goal is simple: to help bridge the gap between clinical knowledge and parents navigating an autism diagnosis. We give families information, answers, and resources they can actually understand and use.

Our promise to parents

What you can count on

  • Clear explanations, without the clinical jargon
  • Practical strategies you can use in everyday life
  • Information grounded in research and evidence
  • Real answers from BCBAs who have been there with families
