EAP families find and hire the therapists to work with their child when running a home programme. This allows families to choose candidates that best suit the family and child. Paying therapists directly also assists families in reducing the overall cost of running the ABA program.

EAP can assist families with this; included in the intake packet (received when the child comes in for the initial screening appointment) is overall information on finding therapists, an example advertisement, suggestions where to place the ad, an application, and interview questions.
