Office Puzzle backs ABA practice owners with new APBA sponsorship and Atlanta retreat

Office Puzzle is expanding support for small ABA practice owners with two new initiatives: sponsorship of APBA’s inaugural Small Business Leader Collective and a two-day owners retreat in Atlanta. The moves target operators who need more business training, peer support and practical tools while running growing practices.

Why it matters: - ABA practice owners often build their businesses around clinical expertise, not business management. - Office Puzzle is positioning itself around that gap by funding networking, training and peer support for independently owned practices. - The company says the effort is aimed at helping owners strengthen operations without sacrificing care quality.

What happened: - Office Puzzle announced Presenting Sponsorship of the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts’ inaugural Small Business Leader Collective. - Office Puzzle also launched The Owners Table, a two-day retreat for ABA practice owners in Atlanta. - Both initiatives were announced Oct. 19, 2026. - Office Puzzle said its software started as a tool for one ABA practice and now supports more than 800 agencies nationwide. - The company’s growth earned it a place on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list.

The details: - The APBA Small Business Leader Collective will select 15 leaders for its first cohort. - Selected participants will be invited to APBA Amplify 2027, scheduled for March 18–20, 2027, in Kansas City. - Cohort benefits include three-day registration with CEUs, six months of on-demand access to convention sessions, a one-year APBA organizational membership with five team seats, reserved keynote seating, and admission to an Office Puzzle-hosted Collective event. - Independent ABA organization owners with 100 or fewer full-time-equivalent employees can apply by Nov. 20, 2026. - APBA will notify the cohort on Dec. 15, 2026. - Full details are available on the APBA Small Business Leader Collective info page. - The Owners Table will take place Dec. 10–11, 2026, at the Wylie Hotel in Atlanta. - The retreat pairs presentations with hands-on work and ends with a playbook attendees can use after the event. - Sessions will focus on building client and staff pipelines, balancing client growth and staff capacity, retention and sustainable growth, and owners’ biggest constraints. - The event will also include a presenter panel, a group dinner, and one-on-one time with presenters. - Office Puzzle will select 15 to 20 Atlanta-area owners through an application process to keep the discussion candid. - Georgia ABA practice owners can apply for The Owners Table by Nov. 9, 2026. - Office Puzzle said it plans to bring the retreat to additional cities. - Office Puzzle prices its platform at a flat $19.99 per user, per month, with no long-term contracts and a 30-day trial. - The platform combines scheduling, data collection, documentation, billing and payroll in one system. - More than 800 practices and 30,000-plus ABA staff members use Office Puzzle to manage over 7.3 million care sessions annually.

Between the lines: - The sponsorship and retreat give Office Puzzle a direct way to build relationships with practice owners who are likely to need software and operational support. - The APBA partnership also extends Office Puzzle’s reach beyond product marketing into professional development and community building. - The Atlanta retreat suggests the company sees demand for smaller, in-person events where owners can discuss operational pressure more openly.

What’s next: - APBA will close applications on Nov. 20, 2026, and announce the inaugural Collective cohort on Dec. 15, 2026. - The Owners Table application deadline is Nov. 9, 2026. - The first retreat will be held Dec. 10–11, 2026, in Atlanta. - Office Puzzle expects to expand The Owners Table to more cities.

The bottom line: - Office Puzzle is deepening its role in the ABA industry by pairing software with hands-on support for practice owners who need business guidance as much as operational tools.
