We meet you where you are
Center-based
Designed for children ages 18 months–8 years, our vibrant centers offer a supportive environment where children with autism receive 1:1 ABA therapy, engage in school-readiness activities, and learn practical social and communication skills.
ABC Academy
ABC Academy mimics an environment similar to what children are experiencing in school. Children ages 5–12 can participate in ABA therapy part-time or full-time while learning skills to prepare them for the future.
1:1 Quality attention
Every child is unique, and every case of autism is different. Our BCBAs, who are master’s-level clinicians, work closely with families to develop customized care plans that reflect each child’s learning style and personality.

Very happy with ABC and all the therapists. They are all so sweet and nice, always willing to help in any way they can. My son loves going to "school" everyday and loves his therapists so much. I always leave with a peace of mind knowing they are taking good care of him and as a parent, that is the most important thing. We are so lucky to be part of the ABC family. I cannot recommend this place enough, absolutely happy with everyone here.

Frequently asked questions
Will my child be sitting at a table all day during ABA therapy?
No. At ABC, learning happens through a variety of engaging activities. While table time can be part of school readiness, children also enjoy:
- Circle Time with songs and group learning
- “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.
What is applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, and how does it work?
Applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy is a gold standard in care for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It helps children build practical skills and reduce behaviors that may make learning harder. Through ABA therapy, children can improve communication, develop self-care routines, and better manage emotions.
At Action Behavior Centers (ABC), our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) use positive reinforcement and individualized strategies to support growth. Families are active partners in therapy, working with our clinical team to set goals and track progress.
