Is Your Child with Autism Eligible for Social Security Benefits? Here's How to Find Out
At Unlocking Abilities Behavior and Learning, we specialize in implementing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and Speech and Language Therapy for children with behavioral and developmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder. We utilize the most effective, evidence-based strategies and teaching methods that ABA has to offer, ensuring a comprehensive approach to care.
Our commitment is to provide compassionate, engaging, and high-quality support that every child deserves. We believe the best way to connect with a child is to truly understand them and meet them at their level. This means collaborating with everyone in the child's life—parents, teachers, and support professionals. It truly "takes a village," and together we can empower kids and their communities with the knowledge and tools needed to achieve milestones and unlock their true abilities.
