Behavior Frontiers Celebrates Grand Opening of Chelmsford Autism Treatment Center!

In April, Behavior Frontiers celebrated the grand opening of our newest Autism Treatment Center: Chelmsford, MA! To mark the occasion, we invited the local autism community for a day of family fun, with activities, arts & crafts, sweet treats, and excitement for all. We had several activities available for the children, but the biggest hit was the ability to play in our fun, child-first center! With toys, games, musical instruments, activity centers, and more, the center provided ample opportunity for a great time for all. Check out some of our favorite photos from the event below.

Our Autism Treatment Center in Chelmsford is now open and accepting new clients! If you are interested in learning more about our Chelmsford center (or any of our other incredible treatment centers nationwide), we would love to talk to you! Contact us today for a free benefit verification.
