What We Do

Care that grows with your child

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the most researched, widely recommended therapy for children with autism. We use it to build communication, independence, and joy — one small win at a time.

🌱

Early Intervention

For toddlers and preschoolers, early support makes the biggest difference. We build foundational language, play, and social skills during the most important developmental window.

🏠

Center-Based ABA

Our warm, sensory-friendly center is designed for learning through play — with structured teaching spaces, social opportunities, and room to just be a kid.

🗣️

Communication & Language

From first words to full conversations, we help children find their voice — including support for AAC devices and alternative communication.

🤝

Social Skills Groups

Making friends is a skill like any other. Small peer groups help children practice sharing, turn-taking, and connection in a safe, supported setting.

🎒

School Readiness

We prepare children for classroom success — following routines, group learning, and transitions — and collaborate with schools and IEP teams.

👪

Parent & Caregiver Training

Progress shouldn't stop at our door. We coach families with practical, everyday strategies so skills carry into home and community life.

Yes — We Do Diagnosis Too

Autism diagnostic evaluations, without the long wait

Many families wait months — even a year — for answers. Our licensed clinicians provide comprehensive autism diagnostic evaluations using gold-standard tools, so you can get clarity and start services sooner.

  • Gold-standard assessment — including tools like the ADOS-2, developmental history, and caregiver interviews.
  • Clear, usable results — a detailed written report you can share with schools, physicians, and insurance.
  • A plan, not just a label — we sit down with you to explain results and map out next steps together.
  • Seamless transition to therapy — if ABA is recommended, your child can begin with us right away.

FAQ

Questions families ask us

What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis is an evidence-based therapy that helps children build meaningful skills — communication, social connection, daily living, and independence — through positive reinforcement and individualized teaching. It's the most widely researched and recommended therapy for children with autism.
Does my child need a diagnosis before starting ABA?
Insurance typically requires an autism diagnosis to cover ABA therapy — and we can help with that. Unlike most ABA providers, we offer diagnostic evaluations in-house, so you don't have to wait months on an outside waitlist before beginning services.
What ages do you serve?
We serve children from early toddlerhood through the school-age years. Early intervention has the strongest evidence base, so if you have concerns about a young child, don't wait — reach out today.
How many hours of therapy will my child receive?
It depends entirely on your child's needs. After the initial assessment, your BCBA recommends a plan — commonly between 10 and 40 hours per week — and we review it with you before anything begins.
Will insurance cover services?
Most plans, including Medicaid and major commercial insurers, cover both diagnostic evaluations and ABA therapy. We verify your benefits for free and handle all authorizations before services start.
What does a typical session look like?
Mostly, it looks like play — because that's how children learn best. Your child works one-on-one with a trained behavior technician on goals set by their BCBA, woven into games, routines, and activities they enjoy.
How involved are parents?
Very — and that's by design. Every treatment plan includes parent training, regular progress updates, and open communication with your BCBA. You know your child best; we build on that.
How do I refer a patient or student?
Providers and schools can use our online referral form, fax to (651) 401-8604, or call us. Families may also self-refer — no physician referral required to begin the conversation.
