Lighthouse Autism Center is Now Enrolling!

Applied Behavioral Analysis is the only Autism therapy that is endorsed by the US Surgeon General. They endorse it because decades of research support the fact that it works.

ABA therapy at LAC is conducted in a 1:1 setting (1 therapist working with 1 child). Each child goes through an in depth assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and other clinical team members to determine their current skill set and what skills might be improved upon.

Give us a call today to see how Lighthouse Autism Center can help your child with Autism reach his or her fullest potential.

Together, we can unlock your child’s potential
