Building a Central Gathering Place for the ABA Community
ABA Town Square was built with a simple idea in mind: the ABA community needs a more connected, more useful, and more engaging place to come together. From learning and professional development to partnerships, resources, and community-driven value, Town Square is designed to support the people helping move the field forward.
Our Vision
ABA Town Square exists to strengthen the ABA field by expanding access to practical knowledge, professional connection, and meaningful opportunity.
Our vision is a field where clinicians are prepared not only to deliver high-quality care, but also to lead, build, and sustain practices that serve families and communities over the long term.
We believe progress in ABA requires more than isolated tools or one-time training—it requires shared knowledge, practical systems, and a commitment to continuous learning.
Our Story
From Education to Community
ABA Town Square grew from educational initiatives within the Hi-5 ABA family of organizations. Today, Town Square is being built as a broader professional community designed to serve ABA professionals, employers, educators, and partners across the field.
Leadership Team
Built by Practitioners, Educators, and Operators
ABA Town Square is guided by leaders and contributors with direct experience in clinical practice, education, and insurance-funded ABA operations. This includes clinicians, instructors, operators, and industry partners who understand both the opportunities and challenges facing the field.
Together, they shape content, curriculum, and resources that reflect real-world conditions—not theoretical ideals.
ABA Town Square emerged as the natural next step: a centralized ecosystem that brings education, practice tools, business insight, and community into one shared professional home.

The “Mother Merrill” Philosophy
An Open-Value Approach to Growth
The “Mother Merrill” philosophy reflects ABA Town Square’s commitment to open value creation. Rather than extracting value from the field, Town Square is designed to reinvest knowledge, resources, and opportunity back into the professional community.
- Education that is practical and accessible
- Systems that support independence, not dependency
- Partnerships built on shared outcomes, not exclusivity
ABA Town Square is not about controlling the conversation—it’s about hosting it responsibly.
