ABC had been life changing for both us, and our child. They have been there every step of the way, from the initial testing/diagnosis, to daily check ins and updates at pick up. They helped us with insurance questions and issues, which are overwhelming all on their own. We’ve seen so many improvements in our little one. The therapists and everyone at the facility go above and beyond. I can’t recommend them enough!!
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
View all FAQs
Does ABC provide other types of therapy besides ABA?
Our specialty is ABA therapy, guided by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. However, we coordinate with outside providers such as speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapists. This ensures your child has a comprehensive treatment plan and seamless care across all services.
To make accessing services easier, we maintain a list of approved speech, occupational, physical, and feeding therapy providers that we work with. These professionals can deliver sessions at our centers during the therapy day, so your child can receive multiple therapies in one familiar setting without extra transitions or travel. Families are welcome to choose their own outside providers. We’ll work closely with them to support continuity of care, ensuring your child’s growth and progress remain our shared goal.
