<div class="hero"><div class="hero-inner"><span class="location-badge">NH Provider Comparison</span><h1>Which ABA Providers Serve New Hampshire in 2026?</h1><p>A parent in Concord called Achieving Stars Therapy in March asking for a list of every ABA group in the state, because three of them had told her they couldn't take her insurance and she wanted to stop guessing. This page is that list. In April 2026, only seven ABA groups cover more than a single New Hampshire city. Everything pulled straight from each site, their Google Business profile, and the NH Medicaid contracted list.</p></div></div>
<div class="quick-info"><div class="info-item"><div class="info-label">State</div><div class="info-value">New Hampshire</div></div><div class="info-item"><div class="info-label">Providers</div><div class="info-value">7 Compared</div></div><div class="info-item"><div class="info-label">Updated</div><div class="info-value">April 2026</div></div><div class="info-item"><div class="info-label">Source</div><div class="info-value">Public data</div></div></div>
<div class="content">
<section><p>Most of the state's ABA capacity actually sits inside two cities, Nashua and Manchester. Step much beyond that and the list thins out fast, particularly on the Seacoast, up in the North Country, and pretty much anywhere west of I-93. What that means practically is that a family in Keene or Berlin has maybe two realistic in-home choices, while a family in Bedford has almost everybody on the list.</p>
<p>Below, the groups get listed alphabetically, not ranked. Nobody on this page is "the best." Different families need different structures, and a good match really depends on delivery model, age range, and which Medicaid plan you carry. Numbers came from each site's own public materials, their Google Business profile, and the current contracted-agency list. Each gets a fresh check every three months.</p>
<p>Wait times stay especially slippery. Clinics fill when a new BCBA gets hired and freeze when one leaves. In-home agencies can flex capacity a little more because technicians travel to homes rather than needing square footage. Treat the wait-time column as a rough pulse, not a promise, and call each number before banking on it.</p></section>

<section><h2>Which option makes sense for which family?</h2>
<p>A Nashua mom asked last week which row on the table was the right pick for her. The honest answer was: start with where you live and work backwards. A family in Exeter, Dover, or Portsmouth really only has three in-home choices, because kin:pathic, Patterns, and Achieving Stars Therapy are the only groups servicing the seacoast. A family in Manchester has almost everybody on the list.</p>
<p>From there, the next filter is usually age. If your kid is older than 12, the clinic chains mostly stop. That leaves Buzz ABA, Patterns, or Achieving Stars Therapy for anyone 13 to 18. Coos, Grafton, and Cheshire county families have only two real choices for in-home reach, Patterns and Achieving Stars Therapy. And if AmeriHealth Caritas is your Medicaid MCO instead of WellSense, your list collapses down to Buzz, Patterns, and Achieving Stars, because nobody else has been contracted with AmeriHealth yet.</p>
</section>
<section><h2>How to use this comparison</h2><p>The comparison isn't a ranking. It's a filter. Start by narrowing on Medicaid MCO and delivery model, which kills half the list. Then narrow on age range. Then call the remaining 2-3 providers and ask the <a href="/guide/how-to-choose-aba-therapy-provider-new-hampshire">8 questions every NH family should ask</a>. That process usually produces a clear answer within a week.</p></section>
<section><h2>Frequently Asked Questions</h2><div class="faq-item"><h3>How do I know which NH Medicaid MCO I'm on?</h3><p>Check the insurance card or log into NH Medicaid's member portal. MCO assignment is done at enrollment through NH DHHS.</p></div><div class="faq-item"><h3>Are these the only ABA providers in New Hampshire?</h3><p>No. Several smaller BCBA private practices exist in NH, plus school-based ABA through SAUs. The table covers providers with multi-city footprint or real Medicaid contracts.</p></div><div class="faq-item"><h3>Why do wait times vary so much?</h3><p>BCBA supply is the bottleneck. Clinic providers fill up when a new BCBA joins and freeze when one leaves. In-home providers like Achieving Stars Therapy can flex capacity because RBTs travel to homes rather than needing clinical square footage.</p></div><div class="faq-item"><h3>Can my child do ABA with two providers at once?</h3><p>Not under the same insurance authorization. Hours must be split or moved. Most families pick one main provider. Some add a clinic provider just for social-skills groups.</p></div><div class="faq-item"><h3>What if my preferred provider has a long waitlist?</h3><p>Start intake with a provider that has near-term availability to begin programming, then transfer later if needed. ABA progress compounds, so 2-3 months of early programming with any qualified BCBA is better than waiting 6 months for a specific clinic.</p></div></section>
