Bierman delivers measurable, high-quality ABA therapy outcomes through disciplined clinical execution, consistent measurement, and built-in accountability.
Health plans need more from ABA providers than claims of quality. They need consistent outcomes, efficient use of authorized hours, reliable documentation, and proof that treatment produces durable, real-world results, not just in-clinic progress that doesn’t generalize.
Most ABA providers report outcomes at the point of graduation. Bierman tracks what happens after, through a four-wave longitudinal parent survey that verifies progress at graduation, at six months, at one year, and at two years.
Our outcomes data is not estimated. It is measured.
375+ children have graduated from Bierman programs since 2006. Each graduation is a clinically defined milestone, not an administrative endpoint.
Includes graduating to a general education setting, including general education classrooms, general education with supports, and preschool placements. *Data from 2023 to 2025 graduate cohorts.
Authorized services have direction, a trajectory, and a clinically defined endpoint, not an indefinite service horizon. *Average time from start of services to graduation.
Bierman’s accountability to a member’s outcomes extends for two years beyond graduation, not the day services end.
Consistent outcomes require consistent systems. Bierman’s clinical model is built around daily measurement, frequent decision-making, and structured accountability at every level.
Bierman operates a formal compliance program across all 34 centers and 7 states, designed to ensure clinical quality, maintain documentation standards, and support audit readiness.
Bierman University, a 100+ course development system, produces a shared clinical language and measurable results across every center. Variability in ABA care is one of the field’s most significant quality challenges. This is how we address it.
The Progress through Evidence-Based Behavior Lab embeds research directly into clinical workflows, using real-world data to advance clinical decision-making and raise standards continuously. PEBBL is evidence that Bierman is actively investing in the infrastructure to improve future outcomes, not resting on historical performance.
Payers need ABA partners that deliver measurable outcomes efficiently, operate with the documentation standards that support accountability, and can demonstrate consistency across large, real-world populations, not just isolated cases. Bierman delivers all three.
This broad footprint supports both statewide and regional plan designs. For health plans with multi-state or multi-region products, partnering with a single provider across several states can simplify contracting, credentialing, and data sharing.
Because geographic access is a key metric in network adequacy, Bierman’s payer relations team is prepared to collaborate to identify locations where expanded service, like on-site speech and occupational therapy, may best align with your members’ needs and compliance.
Bierman’s center footprint spans seven states and includes the following city-level locations:
In Select States
Through daily tracking of individual learner goals, a 3–5 day clinical review cadence, and a four-wave longitudinal parent survey continuing for two years post-discharge. Progress is verified, not assumed.
Approximately 18 to 20 months from start of services to graduation. Individual clinical needs determine the appropriate length for each child.
Programming decisions are made every 3–5 days. Clinician caseloads are capped at 7 — below the BACB’s recommended ceiling of 12. Plateaus are identified early, keeping authorized hours directed toward progress.
Over 60% of 2023–2025 graduates transitioned to a general education setting, verified through post-graduation follow-up, not estimated at graduation.
A clinically defined milestone. A learner who has met individualized treatment goals and completed a transition plan supporting success in their next setting. Not an administrative discharge.
A formal compliance program led by a dedicated Director of Compliance, including quarterly dashboard reviews, an internal audit program, camera monitoring at all centers, and compliance training at hire and throughout employment.
