The staff here is on point! I would highly recommend registering in this ABA program. Our son is 4 years old and has shown major improvement since he’s been enrolled (1.5 months). Never have had a bad experience, all of the therapists here are very good with all children from what I’ve witnessed. The director always greets us at the door at drop off and pick up with a very positive attitude. We have really enjoyed the warmth from this center! Our child has progressed very well in the little time that he has attended. Would rate 10 stars if possible! If you’re looking for a kind and compassionate environment for your children, would definitely consider ABC.

Frequently asked questions
What is ABA therapy and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis therapy is a research-backed method that helps children diagnosed with autism learn new skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. With ABA, children can improve communication, build daily living skills, and better understand their emotions. Our ABA therapists utilize different strategies, like Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Natural Environment Teaching (NET), to support each child’s progress. Therapy is delivered through a compassionate care framework and emphasizes the child’s individual needs and goals.
Will my child be sitting at a table all day during ABA therapy?
No way! At ABC, learning happens through a variety of engaging activities. While table time can be part of learning school readiness skills, children also enjoy:
- Circle Time with therapists and peers
- “Eats and Crafts” spaces for hands-on activities
- Group exercise, sensory rooms, and play-based learning
Therapy is designed to be fun, active, and motivating.
Is ABA therapy effective for autism?
Yes! Every autistic child is unique, and some children experience more significant progress with ABA therapy than others. However, studies show that children who receive two or more years of intensive behavioral interventions, including ABA therapy, can often participate in school and social activities at the same level as their peers.
