The ABA Support Network is all about Parents Helping Parents, and we do a lot of "intake" – talking to parents with a new diagnosis, helping them understand the benefits and science behind ABA, helping them identify a quality consultant and build a team, and supporting them through the process. Here are some of our favorite resources which are helpful to parents with a new diagnosis:

There are so many therapies – how do I know what works?
ABA has for many years been confirmed by study and credible authorities as the most substantially evidence based effective autism intervention. There are too many sources to list here!
It is crucial to be able to ask the right questions and find the flaws in the science behind every purported treatment, or to find the evidence, where it exists, that the treatment is effective. "The Complete Guide to Autism Treatments" by Dr. Sabrina Freeman was inspired by parents of children afflicted with autism. After speaking with several thousands of parents about various treatments and answering similar questions over and over again, Dr. Freeman realized that parents need a clear way — a guide — to help make appropriate treatment decisions for their child.
To this end, Dr. Freeman gives her scientific evaluation of most of the major and minor autism treatments available today, and then personalizes the analysis by telling the reader whether or not she would use the treatment on her own child.

An Autism Parents "Bible" to funding and administration:
This site is maintained by a parent. It will become your go-to resource for all questions about funding and administration and also has an excellent section "ABA Team" which contains a roadmap for building a therapy team as well as examples of recruitment ads, interview questions, and tips for staying organized.
What is my life going to look like with an ABA team in the house?
This is a great video series for parents with a new diagnosis to watch.
It is hard for new parents to envision what a life with ABA looks like.
Here is a great series of youtube videos called the A Word which follows a family and their son Jack on their journey of diagnosis and therapy. A good resource for new parents who want to see what ABA in the home looks like!
