Acorn Health is a national provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children and young adults diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Founded in October 2018 and backed by Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, the company has grown to serve families across seven states with a team of approximately 945 employees. The organization offers comprehensive ABA services delivered through multiple modalities: center-based therapy at dedicated clinic locations, in-home sessions, and school-based interventions where permitted. Each client receives an individualized treatment plan developed collaboratively with their family, and family training and education are integrated into every therapy program to support skill generalization across home, school, and community settings. Acorn Health serves children as young as 18 months through age 21, with specific programs for early intervention (ages 0–5), preschool-age children, school-age youth, and teenagers. The company is accredited as a Behavioral Health Center of Excellence® (BHCOE) and holds a full two-year accreditation from the Autism Commission on Quality (ACQ), reflecting commitment to evidence-based clinical practice. The company provides translation and interpretation services to ensure meaningful access for families with Limited English Proficiency and accepts most major insurance plans. Its mission emphasizes building independence and helping children with autism develop critical life and social skills.
