Lighthouse Autism Center is Now Enrolling!

Posted on by Gregg

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.

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
