Two ways we help

Therapy that builds skills, answers that guide it.

Many families start with an evaluation and continue with ABA therapy. Others come to us with a diagnosis and are ready to begin. Either way, it all happens here.

Autism therapy

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

ABA breaks learning into small, achievable steps and uses positive reinforcement to build communication, social, and daily living skills.

  • An individualized program plan
  • Goals set carefully with your family
  • Positive reinforcement, never punishment-based
  • Continuous tracking of progress

Signs worth checking

Autism looks different at every age.

Autism spectrum disorder affects how people communicate, relate to others, and experience the world. Experts agree that early diagnosis and early support lead to better outcomes, but it's never too late for answers.

These are common signs, not a diagnosis. Only an evaluation can tell you for sure.

  • Language or communication delays
  • Less interest in social play or shared attention
  • Repetitive movements or play
  • Strong reactions to changes in routine

What is ABA therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis breaks learning into small steps and uses positive reinforcement to build new skills. Our ABA services follow an individualized program plan with goals developed for each person and continuous progress tracking.
Who guides ABA therapy here?
Our team includes Dr. Jessica Barry, a clinical psychologist who is also a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), with experience caring for children with autism and special needs.
How young can my child be evaluated?
Developmental testing can be done for children as young as 24 months. We also evaluate school-age children, teens, and adults.
What does an evaluation include?
An intake meeting about background and concerns, direct testing chosen for age and the referral question, then a detailed written report and a feedback meeting with next steps.
What should we bring to testing?
School records and report cards, any IEP or 504 Plan, and previous evaluations such as speech and language reports. Bring snacks and drinks, and any glasses or hearing aids your child uses.
Why does early support matter?
Experts agree that the earlier people with autism get help, the better their outcomes tend to be. That said, people with autism make meaningful progress at any age.
Do you take insurance?
We are an out-of-network practice, so we don't bill insurance companies directly. Our services are almost always reimbursable through out-of-network benefits, and we help you submit your claims. We don't participate in Medicare or Medicaid.
