Ideal for working families, our full-day ABA program offers 35 to 40 hours of therapy each week in a structured setting focused on the key skills of behavior, communication, and social interaction.
If your child does better with a shorter schedule or you're gradually transitioning into more intensive therapy, our half-day sessions offer 20 to 25 hours per week of targeted support. Choose between a morning or afternoon block to suit your family’s routine. These sessions provide consistency and structure while giving children time to rest, reset, and apply skills outside of therapy hours.
Our after-school program for school-aged children works to strengthen general communication skills and cultivate social skills with other children their age.
Therapy is most effective when parents feel supported. That’s why we integrate family coaching and regular feedback into every program. Our clinicians provide updates, answer questions, and offer practical strategies that families can use outside of the context of therapy.

Following the assessment, the BCBA will arrange a consultation with you to review the plan and discuss any adjustments before sessions begin.
After the plan is approved, the BCBA submits a service request to determine session hours through your insurance provider, typically processed within two weeks.
