✨ Why Our Approach Matters
Non-ABA therapies are powerful: Many parents worry that not doing ABA means missing out. But evidence-based approaches like play therapy, Miller Method®, and CBT can be just as effective — especially for building meaningful communication and emotional connection.

Flexible & family-centered: You don’t need to wait for an ABA slot or take a “one-size-fits-all” route. With OAP support and direct insurance billing, your child can get care now.
Autism Center for Kids
Long-term growth: We help children and families build skills that last — social, emotional, communication, self-regulation — not just “behavior compliance.”
