Behavior Frontiers Celebrates the Grand Opening of Our Grosse Pointe Woods Autism Center

Grand Opening of Our Grosse Pointe Woods Autism Center — Behavior Frontiers

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Behavior Frontiers has officially opened its doors to their 6th ABA therapy center in Michigan, in Grosse Pointe Woods – an important step in expanding access to high-quality early intervention autism care for families across the greater Detroit area.

To celebrate, we kicked off the new year with a sensory-friendly disco party, welcoming families, children, and community members into our newest center for a day filled with movement, connection, and fun.

A Sensory-Friendly New Year’s Celebration to Remember

Our New Year’s grand opening event was designed with intention, creating an environment where children with autism could explore, move, and celebrate in a way that felt comfortable and inclusive.

Families enjoyed a plethora of sensory-friendly activities, including a calming disco dance party, fun giveaways, crafts, snacks, and more! They also had the chance to tour our brand-new center and meet our clinical team to learn more about our personalized ABA therapy programs.

It was a wonderful way to ring in the new year and officially welcome families into our Grosse Pointe Woods autism center.

Relive the Day With Us!

From moments on the dance floor to smiling faces throughout the center, we’re so grateful to everyone who helped make this day so special. Take a look at some of our favorite moments from the celebration:

A New ABA Therapy Center Serving Grosse Pointe Woods & Surrounding Communities

Our Grosse Pointe Woods autism center was thoughtfully designed to support young children with autism under age 6 as they build important, lifelong skills – during the early years when autism care may make the greatest impact. We also offer ABA therapy services for older children and young adults (up to age 25) through our in-home services, designed to meet you where you are.

Each state-of-the-art Behavior Frontiers center provides a welcoming, child-forward, and safe space for children to learn through play, individualized therapy, and group activities with their peers.

What Skills Children Practice at Our Autism Centers

At our Grosse Pointe Woods autism center and all our other Michigan ABA therapy centers, children participate in individualized, play-based programs that support development across everyday life skills, getting them ready for thriving in school and beyond.

ABA therapy supports:

  • Communication and language skills
  • Social skills like turn-taking, sharing, and peer interaction
  • School readiness skills like following instructions, routines, and managing transitions
  • Daily living skills, such as grooming, feeding, and toilet training
  • Emotional regulation and expression
  • Movement and play skills that build imagination, confidence, and connection

All programs are guided by our experienced clinical team, including our licensed Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), tenured supervisors, and passionate Behavior Therapists. Each child’s plan is adjusted continuously based on their progress, measured through our proprietary data platform, PrioraCare.

The 4 Functions of Behavior in ABA Therapy: Understanding Your Child’s Behavior

In ABA therapy, understanding the functions of behavior helps clinicians (and you) uncover what your child is trying to communicate through their behavior. And once we unlock the “why,” we also reveal the pathway to teaching new ways to communicate that same need (thus reducing challenging behaviors like tantrums, aggression, or throwing things) and setting up your child for success.

An autism diagnosis never determines your success. For many of the most creative, driven, and groundbreaking minds in history, it may have been the very thing that fueled it. An intense focus, pattern recognition, and a willingness to see the world differently are not limitations. They're superpowers.

What Is DRA in ABA Therapy? (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior)

Every time your child wants to play with a toy, they have big emotions until they get it. At school, when presented with difficult work, they might run away. These are all examples of behaviors your child might exhibit to serve a communicative purpose. They might need something or want your attention. Or maybe they just want access to an opportunity. Whatever the behavior might be—it works, so it continues. Sometimes, we as adults may reinforce these behaviors without realizing it.

Errorless Learning in ABA: How and Why Behavior Therapists Use It

In Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, errorless learning is a way to teach new skills by giving the right amount of support from the very beginning.When your child with autism is learning something new, mistakes are part of the process. But for some kiddos, too many mistakes too quickly can feel uncomfortable, frustrating, or discouraging. The last thing we want is for your child to shut down, guess, avoid the task, or lose confidence before the skill has a chance to grow. That's where errorless learning can help.
