There are several different treatment spaces, including a gross motor area, a group table-time area, a kitchen, a sensory gym, and a private treatment room, that provide variety and flexibility to treat your child in the best space possible for their specific needs.
Our team approach is designed to help your child with services that include:
- Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS-2) testing

- Speech and Language Therapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Skills Training for families
- Group Therapy
- Individual Therapy
Get an Early Start
Autism spectrum disorder is a developmental disability that generally appears before the age of 3. Autism and behavioral challenges are most successfully addressed when appropriate care is delivered during your child’s educational years. With early diagnosis and behavior-based intervention, children have the best chance of adapting, and long-term care resources can often be reduced.
There Is a Way
We accept all major insurance plans, but if you have insurance or financial challenges, we can help connect you with a supportive community that will offer solutions. It all starts with a referral from your pediatrician or therapist. You are strong. Don’t let anything stand in the way of getting the help you need. We care deeply about your family and child getting the support you need and will help you find a way.
