9 months ago we dropped Ethan off for his first day. We had no idea what to expect. Ethan didn’t interact much. We were all frustrated and lost.
Fast forward these short months and WOW! Ethan is a completely different kid! He expresses what he wants! He plays with his brothers and sister. He even looks for which sibling he wants! (Each one has something different to offer him). He calls for “da” and says “mama”.

We've Been Where You Are

Your Child's Full Potential
ABA Therapy can help them reach it
ABA therapy is the only therapy recommended by the U.S. Surgeon General for the treatment of autism. Our center offering ABA therapy can help children develop communication skills, social skills and functional living skills.
Some Key Benefits of ABA Therapy
A scientifically validated approach to understanding learning and behavior, ABA therapy is so effective because it looks at the purpose and circumstances behind given behaviors in order to change them. ABA therapy is the only one of its kind endorsed by the U.S. Surgeon General as an effective autism treatment. Here are a few of the benefits you can expect:
- Unique, individualized therapy programs customized to the child
- Consideration of each child’s unique skills, skill gaps and caregiver input
- One-on-one therapy with a certified Registered Behavior Technician (RBT)
- An emphasis on both planned and naturally occurring learning opportunities
- Training for parents, family members and caregivers
While we focus our practice at Lighthouse on center-based applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, we also offer speech therapy services and occupational services for those who need it.
