Kennedy ABA Expands Autism Therapy Services to Alaska

Nov 5, 2026

Following years of serving children and families across North Carolina and Georgia, the growing ABA therapy provider extends its reach to Alaska, expanding access to personalized, in-home autism care.

Anchorage, AK, Alaska, United States, November 5, 2026 /MarketersMEDIA/ -- Kennedy ABA, an established provider of Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, announces the expansion of its autism therapy services in Alaska, marking a significant expansion of the organization's growing presence across multiple states. Founded in 2010, Kennedy ABA has spent more than a decade supporting children with autism and their families, building an established presence in North Carolina and Georgia before bringing its services to Alaska.

Through this expansion, Kennedy ABA aims to help address the need for accessible, individualized autism services in Alaska, where families can face limited provider options, lengthy waitlists, and geographic challenges when seeking consistent therapy for their children.

Rather than requiring families to travel to a clinic, Kennedy ABA brings therapy directly into the home. Its in-home service model allows children to develop important skills in familiar environments while giving parents and caregivers opportunities to participate in the process and reinforce what their children learn throughout the day.

Bringing an Established Approach to a New State

Kennedy ABA's expansion into Alaska builds on its experience serving families across multiple states. Founded in 2010, the organization has served approximately 1,000 families in North Carolina and 50 families in Georgia. Since beginning operations in Anchorage, Alaska, and surrounding areas approximately six months ago, Kennedy ABA has already reached more than 50 families in the state.

Across its service areas, Kennedy ABA has delivered approximately 100,000 hours of ABA therapy. Its growing team includes approximately 900 members, including Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), and case coordinators who contribute to its therapy programs and family support services.

These milestones reflect Kennedy ABA's experience, continued growth, and capacity to support families across different communities. With its expansion of services in Alaska, the organization is bringing more than a decade of ABA therapy experience to another region, extending its reach to children and families seeking individualized autism services.

Founder Isaac Cziment emphasizes the importance of maintaining the principles behind effective ABA therapy:

"ABA will only work when ABA is done the way ABA was designed to be done."

This philosophy reflects Kennedy ABA's commitment to making a meaningful difference in the lives of children and families through compassionate care, dedication, and positive change.

Expanding Access to Personalized ABA Therapy in Alaska

Kennedy ABA's Alaska expansion brings a range of ABA services designed to support children with autism and their families at different stages of their developmental journey. Through individualized programs and family-centered support, the organization aims to help more Alaska families access services that address their children's unique needs.

Available services include:

  • In-Home ABA Therapy: Individualized therapy delivered in the child's home, helping children develop communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills in familiar surroundings.
  • School-Based ABA Therapy: Support within educational settings to help children build skills, participate in school activities, and work toward individualized learning goals.
  • Parent Training: Practical guidance that helps parents and caregivers understand ABA strategies and reinforce their children's progress at home and in everyday situations.
  • Telehealth Services: Remote access to professional guidance and support, helping families connect with clinical providers when in-person services may not be accessible.
  • Comprehensive Assessments: In-depth behavioral assessments that help identify a child’s developmental needs, giving families a clearer understanding of their strengths and the areas where they need support. 
  • Early Intervention: Developmental support for young children, focusing on foundational skills that can contribute to future learning, communication, and independence.

Kennedy ABA also works with families to navigate insurance requirements and verify coverage before beginning services. In Alaska, accepted plans include Alaska Medicaid (Denali KidCare), Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska, and TRICARE.

The organization is currently accepting new clients in its Alaska service areas. Eligible families may be able to begin services within two to four weeks, depending on individual circumstances and authorization requirements.

A Growing Commitment to Families Beyond State Lines

For Kennedy ABA, launching services in Alaska represents another step in its commitment to making individualized autism therapy more accessible to families across different communities.

By combining experienced clinical professionals, family involvement, and therapy delivered in everyday environments, the organization continues to build on its approach to helping children develop communication, social, behavioral, and daily living skills.

As Kennedy ABA continues to expand its reach, its focus remains on delivering ABA therapy as intended: through individualized programs, consistent clinical guidance, and meaningful support for children and their families.

Alaska families interested in learning more about available services, insurance coverage, or starting ABA therapy can contact Kennedy ABA directly.

WSL, PSC team up to develop next generation of Filipino surfers

SIARGAO, Philippines — The World Surf League (WSL) wants to make sure Filipino surfers get more than just the opportunity to compete against the world's best, with its partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) expected to help push the sport's development in the country. WSL president Andrew Stark said bringing the Championship Tour to Cloud 9 was also an opportunity to expose young Filipino surfers to the international competition and give local talents a closer look at what it takes to compete at the highest level. The league worked with the PSC, headed by Chairman Patrick "Pato" Gregorio, to bring the Philippines Pro to Siargao, bringing the Championship Tour to Philippine shores for the first time. Stark welcomed the support extended by the government sports agency and said the league was pleased with the reception it received from the local community. "It's incredible. It's a beautiful place and, you know, we feel very welcome here. We've got a fantastic partnership with the Philippine Sports Commission," Stark said. The WSL also brought local youngsters into the event through its Rising Tides program, where children had the chance to surf with professional athletes, meet the competitors and learn from experienced surfers. It also worked with the Siargao Island Surfing Association on the board caddy program, giving junior surfers a chance to assist competitors with their boards and experience the competition up close. "We really want to make sure we're giving back to the kids," Stark said. Stark was also impressed with the showing of Filipino wildcards John Mark "Marama" Tokong, Jayuard Alciso, Noah Arkfeld and Mara Lopez who faced an international field packed with world champions and established Championship Tour campaigners. He particularly praised Tokong, whose familiarity with Cloud 9 and ability in the water made him a tough competitor even for the visiting stars. "Marama particularly, he is incredible out here. I mean, all the world tour surfers, the world champions, they were scared of him. Like, wow, this guy is unbelievable. He's very talented," Stark said. While both Filipino bets eventually saw their campaigns end, Stark said their participation gave them valuable exposure. Their appearances in the Championship Tour were carried to an international audience through the WSL's broadcasts and digital platforms. "For those Filipino wildcards, it's life-changing for them. They've now been broadcast to the world and their social media followings will go through the roof and they're all over the mainstream media globally," Stark said. Stark believes the exposure could help Tokong, Alciso, Arkfeld and Lopez attract more attention, while also inspiring other Filipino surfers to work toward competing internationally. The Philippines Pro has also provided a boost to Siargao's tourism campaign. Athletes competing in the event have been sharing their experiences on the island through social media, giving their followers a glimpse of Cloud 9, its resorts, restaurants and other local attractions. The WSL said the Championship Tour surfers have a combined social media following of more than 50 million, giving Siargao and the Philippines added exposure to audiences around the world. Stark also revealed that the league is looking at ways to expand its presence in the country, including the possibility of establishing a regional base in the Philippines to support its activities across Southeast Asia. The WSL has already confirmed another edition of the Philippines Pro at Cloud 9 in 2027. "We've confirmed the event for 2027, so we're really excited that Cloud 9, Siargao, Philippines will be back again next year," Stark said. The return will give Filipino surfers another chance to measure themselves against international competition, while local youngsters will have more opportunities to take part in development activities organized alongside the event.

SportsPlus Foundation champions inclusive sports through partnership with Special Olympics Pilipinas

MANILA, Philippines — Every athlete deserves the opportunity to train, compete, and pursue their dreams. But for athletes with disabilities, access to appropriate sports equipment and training resources can make a meaningful difference in their journey. Recognizing the importance of inclusive sports, SportsPlus Foundation, the social development arm of SportsPlus PH, has partnered with Special Olympics Pilipinas to help address the equipment needs of athletes with disabilities. Special Olympics Pilipinas is part of the global Special Olympics movement, which uses the power of sports to promote inclusion and create opportunities for people with disabilities to develop their skills, build confidence, and experience the benefits of participation in sports. Through this partnership, SportsPlus Foundation provided equipment for various sports such as basketball, football, and badminton, among others, that meets athletes’ actual training and competition requirements on October 22 in Sta. Elena, Marikina. By coordinating closely with Special Olympics Pilipinas, the initiative ensures the support is appropriate, relevant, and aligned with the intended beneficiaries’ needs. For SportsPlus Foundation, supporting athletes with disabilities is part of a broader commitment to building communities where opportunities are more accessible, and every individual can participate and thrive. “It is our privilege to turn over this equipment to Special Olympics Pilipinas as part of SportsPlus Foundation’s efforts to promote inclusive sports and expand opportunities for Filipino athletes of all abilities,” said SportsPlus Head of Brand Marketing Paul Macalindong. “SportsPlus believes that sports should be accessible to everyone, regardless of ability or background. Through this initiative, we hope to help athletes access the equipment and training support they need to develop their skills, build confidence, and pursue their full potential.” Special Olympics Pilipinas, meanwhile, highlighted the collaboration’s role in advancing inclusive community development. “We are a non-government organization, and our funding comes from grants, including from SportsPlus, which is huge,” said Special Olympics Pilipinas Sports Manager Zoren Alfonso. “We are grateful and thankful to SportsPlus Foundation because this donation was not just sports equipment, but a path for athletes to improve in their sport. This will help them improve and experience what it feels like to have quality sports equipment that helps develop their skills.” Through partnerships like this, SportsPlus Foundation hopes to help create a more inclusive sporting environment where athletes are supported not only in training, but also in pursuing their goals.
