Our Services
We provide cutting-edge Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with compassion for individuals with autism and other developmental needs
ABC has helped thousands of individuals with autism globally over the past 30 years. All our programs are individually designed and implemented based on the unique needs of each child.
Why Choose Intensive ABA?
Research consistently shows that intensive ABA therapy leads to the most significant gains in skills and development for children with autism. Our intensive programs provide the hours and consistency needed to create meaningful, lasting change.
Each program is carefully designed by our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to match your child's unique learning style, current skill level, and family goals.
Evidence-Based Results
Studies show that children receiving 20-40 hours per week of intensive ABA therapy demonstrate significant improvements in:
- Language and communication
- Cognition and perception
- Social functioning and play skills
- Daily living skills
There is also a reduction in negative behavior such as self-injury, tantrums, and rigidity, thereby allowing the child to unlock his/her potential better.

Infant/Toddler (IT) Program
Ages 0-3For infants and toddlers up to 3 years who exhibit autistic-like behaviors, who are at risk of a diagnosis of autism, or who have a diagnosis on the Autism Spectrum.
Early Start Advantage: Early intervention during these critical developmental years can significantly improve long-term outcomes and may prevent or reduce the severity of autism symptoms.
Early Intervention
The earlier, the better
Research shows that early intervention leads to the best outcomes. Our Infant/Toddler program targets critical developmental windows when the child is most receptive to learning.
What Does It Teach?
- Eye contact, play and responding to social reinforcement
- Learning is done via play-based stimuli appropriate for toddlers
- Each child's program is individualized
Classroom Consultation and Shadowing
School SupportVisit, shadowing and consultation on the child in the neighborhood school. ABC's shadow teacher assists the child in navigating the school environment, understanding teacher instructions and dealing with peers socially. Consultation may be limited to one or two areas of focus (such as PECS or the reduction of behavior excesses), or may encompass the design and monitoring of an intensive behavior program.
Focused Support
Targeted intervention for specific challenges like communication or behavior management
Comprehensive Program
Full behavioral program design and ongoing monitoring in the school setting
In Home ABA Program
We also provide our ABA Intensive Behavioral Program at the child's home, assuming that the child's assessed needs would warrant a home program. This program is subject to availability.
Benefits of Home-Based Therapy
- Therapy in the child's natural environment
- Greater family involvement and observation
- Skills practiced with everyday materials and routines
