Website, UI/X, SEO, Branding

Challenges:

  1. Scattered content & navigation friction
    Families struggled to locate centers, understand therapy options, and access diagnostic resources. ABC lacked methods for keeping 300+ centers up to date and families appraised of hours, availability, and new locations.
  2. Under‑utilized screening tools
    M‑CHAT‑R and CAST assessments were online but not readily discoverable or streamlined with marketing flows.
  3. Brand‑digital disconnect
    ABC’s warmth, expertise, and family-first mission weren’t fully reflected in the site’s tone and aesthetics.

Nationwide real-time center search

Families often begin their autism care journey by asking a simple question: Where is the nearest center that can help my child? ODW built an intuitive locator that pulls in real-time updates across Action Behavior Centers’ nationwide network. Parents can filter by state or city, explore center details, and schedule tours—all within a few clicks.

  • Flexible search with autocomplete by, center name, zip, city and state
  • Covers all centers accross the United State
  • Built into the site's CMS for easy center additions and updates
The Action Behavior Centers website locations search page shows center contact and logistics information.

Educational ABA content and online screeners for parents

ABC provides families with approachable ABA resources and integrated online screeners like the CAST and M-CHAT-R. These tools help parents better understand developmental milestones and offer clear guidance on next steps when screening results suggest further evaluation may be needed.

  • Visual & Emotional Alignment
    ODW crafted a visual identity featuring warm tones, joyful imagery, and child‑centric storytelling that resonates emotionally with families.
  • Enhanced Calls to Action
    Implemented clear, action‑oriented buttons like “Schedule a Tour”, “Start a Screening”, and “Find a Center”—giving families straightforward paths to begin care.

ABC provides families with integrated online autism screeners: CAST and M-CHAT-R.

ODW built these tools directly into the website experience, ensuring parents can complete screenings without leaving the site. The seamless flow helps families understand developmental milestones in context and provides clear guidance on next steps if results suggest further evaluation may be needed.

ODW designed the ABC website around a modular visual system that blends flexibility with consistency. We created a library of icons, image treatments, and graphic components that can be reused across pages while adapting to new content needs.

Osborn Design Works developed a flexible icon system to keep new website content creation efficient and consistent. By pairing custom icons with reusable styles and treatments, the system makes it easy for the ABC team to plan, draft, and publish on-brand pages quickly. This approach ensures that new resources like: services, blog posts, or careers updates feel cohesive while not requiring new design resources.

Careers hub and job board

The website rebuild also supports ABC’s growth as an employer of choice in autism therapy. ODW developed a careers hub and job board where prospective therapists, BCBAs, and support staff can explore opportunities, learn about ABC’s culture, interview process and apply directly. The streamlined experience strengthens recruiting while showcasing ABC’s commitment to building exceptional clinical teams.

Action Behavior Centers logotype and logomark branding components.
ODW developed high quality key brand art and supporting imagery used throughout the website and marketing.

These branded elements are seamlessly intermixed with proprietary assets—photos of the ABC team, events, and therapy centers—ensuring the site feels both professional and authentic. The result is a cohesive visual identity that scales with ABC’s growth while staying grounded in the real people and communities they serve.
