In the last decade, significant progress has been made in understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and how to help those who are on the spectrum. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy that aims to increase helpful behaviors while decreasing harmful behaviors. Behavior analysis has been studied for decades, and in recent years positive reinforcement strategies have gained support as an effective method to treat children with ASD.
As a new ABA therapy brand, Wellspring was looking to build their digital presence from the ground up. High-level goals included creating a brand that could spur organic growth and drive new patient acquisition while also resonating with patients and their families.
Wellspring turned to Cardinal for help with their new brand identity and website design and development. We created a beautiful, scalable site for the ABA brand that could grow with them as they opened new locations. Cardinal continues to serve as a strategic advisor as the brand expands, helping them acquire new patients through SEO and paid media and recruit all-star talent to support their growth.
The parents of children with ASD are online seeking solutions to help their children gain stronger communication and interpersonal skills. When browsing social media, they’re attuned to content and ads that speak to their children’s challenges. After hearing about ABA therapy, the first place they go is Google to find more information and review ABA therapy providers.
If your ABA practice’s website doesn’t have the answers to their questions, you’re missing a golden opportunity to connect with potential patient families.
A consistent digital strategy makes it easy for potential patients and clients to see what applied behavior analysis therapy services you have available and how to access them. Part of this effort can include making sure your organization’s site ranks high when people search for assistance. Follow this up with a well-designed site that provides information that is easy to understand and shows that you are ready to assist.
