Portland, OR
Portland dominates Oregon's ABA market, with OHSU Doernbecher Children's Hospital, Portland State University's ABA programs, and a progressive community that values neurodiversity and early intervention services.
Oregon's autism insurance mandate and Oregon Health Plan (Medicaid) coverage create steady demand for ABA providers, concentrated in the Portland metro area and the Willamette Valley. The state has a progressive approach to autism services, and Portland State University offers BACB-approved coursework. Oregon's quality of life and natural beauty attract BCBAs from across the country, though the relatively high cost of living in Portland should be factored in.
