Family Reviews

I've had an excellent experience with this center. Before bringing my son here, he didn't speak at all and couldn't follow basic instructions. He was already in school and even had speech therapy, but I couldn't see any progress until I brought him here. In just a few months, my son started talking, he can follow instructions, and he communicates his needs. I'm so happy with the help they've given my son, and the staff is super friendly... Honestly, I tell all the parents I know who have autistic children that this center is wonderful! 💯💯💯

Amanda R.

I can't say enough great things about this ABA therapy center. From the very beginning, the staff has been incredibly kind, patient, and supportive not just with my son, but with our whole family... My son has made so much progress, and it's all thanks to the dedicated therapists who go above and beyond every day. They create a safe, positive environment while still making learning fun. Communication has been amazing they keep me updated and make me feel involved every step of the way. I'm so grateful we found this place. Highly recommend!

Ana C.

This center is FANTASTIC. My son recently got his autism diagnosis and we struggled to find programs that would help him catch up on delays like speech. Many had very limited hours or made us go back and forth to different offices, and if anything, his skills were regressing. He's only been here for a few weeks, but the progress is incredible! He's learning to dress himself, self-regulate and has been doing a lot better socializing with other kids. His team has done so well connecting with him AND us. Incredibly attentive and communicative; absolutely recommend. Thank you team!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes! If your child is 6 or under, and you're interested in exploring center-based care, our team can walk you through whether it's a good fit. If yes, we will help make the transition as smooth as possible.

We accept most major insurance and Medicaid plans, with partnerships with over 125 providers nationwide. Our team will verify your benefits and guide you through the process from start to finish, so you can focus on what matters most: your child.

The main difference is the setting. In-home ABA delivers expert care in your child's natural environment. Center-based ABA takes place in a dedicated facility designed for early learners under age 6, with full-day programming and peer interaction built in. Both deliver the same high-quality, clinician-led care. Contact us today, and we’ll help guide you toward the setting that's the right fit for your child.

Session length is based on your child's individualized therapy plan and clinical recommendations. Your BCBA will determine the right number of hours per week to support meaningful, lasting progress. Contact us to get started today!

Your Behavior Technician will check in with you at the end of every session. You'll also receive real-time progress updates through PrioraCare™ and meet regularly with your BCBA. Caregiver training is a core part of every in-home program, so you're always equipped to support your child's growth between sessions.

Each session follows a consistent rhythm that blends structured skill-building, play-based activities, and real-world practice, all in your child's natural home environment. Your Behavior Technician works 1:1 directly with your child on individualized goals, from communication and social skills to daily living routines, while keeping things engaging and fun.

In-home ABA is available for children and young adults up to age 25. It's especially well-suited for older children, families who prefer care in a natural setting, and younger children whose medical needs or behaviors are best supported outside of a center environment.

Yes. Social skill-building - like sharing, turn-taking, and communication - is incorporated into every session. Siblings and family members are also a great way to practice these skills and can be included in sessions when appropriate. Families can also request a community outing, and if approved, your child's Behavior Technician can join them in real-world settings like the park, doctor’s appointment, or grocery store to practice skills in action.
