Ahana ABA

Ahana ABA is an autism therapy provider serving children, adults, and families in the Greater Sacramento area, with telehealth consultation available more broadly when appropriate. Founded by Board Certified Behavior Analyst Ryan Smith, the practice describes its approach as contemporary ABA: research-based, compassionate, and tailored to each person’s needs, strengths, interests, and personality. Services include parent-led ABA, direct one-to-one treatment delivered by a BCBA, and support for adults through California’s Self-Determination Program.

BCBAs provide assessments, individualized treatment plans, behavior intervention plans, progress reports, caregiver training, and supervision for direct support staff. Therapy can address communication, social and play skills, flexibility, self-regulation, daily living, and behaviors that may interfere with learning and growth. Ahana ABA emphasizes family collaboration, practical strategies for home and community settings, and meaningful progress toward greater confidence and independence.

Private-pay services are available. The organization says it is pursuing Alta Regional Center vendorization and working through insurance credentialing. Families can schedule a free 15-minute consultation to learn more about its services
