Every child learns and grows differently. But sometimes, challenges with transitions, communication, or social skills can leave families wondering if extra support might make a difference.

That’s where we come in.

At Swank Early Skills Development, we use ABA therapy to help children:
Develop tools to express their needs more clearly.
Build confidence in handling changes and new routines.
Strengthen social skills for making friends and connecting with others.

Because we’re locally owned and deeply connected in Lancaster County, we can provide therapy where it matters most — at home, in school, or in daycare — and collaborate with other providers to create a plan that works for your family.

If you’ve been asking yourself, “Could we benefit from ABA therapy?” — the answer might be yes. And we’d love to walk that journey with you.

You Are Not Alone.

Parenting is one of the toughest jobs in the world. Parenting a neurodivergent child? It can feel overwhelming, isolating, and exhausting at times.

But here’s the truth: you don’t have to do it alone.

At Swank Early Skills Development, we walk beside families every step of the way. We provide support through ABA therapy designed to help children develop communication, social skills, independence, and effective behavior management.

Because we’re a locally owned practice, we understand the unique needs of Lancaster families. We’re connected with area schools, daycares, and local therapy providers — so we can coordinate care that feels seamless and supportive.

Every child deserves to shine. Every parent deserves a team they can trust. And at Swank, that’s exactly what you’ll find.

You are not alone. We’re here for you.

If you’re new to the world of autism support, you’ve probably heard the term ABA and wondered what it really means.

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis — one of the most research-backed, evidence-based therapies available for children with autism.

But ABA isn’t just about “changing behaviors.” At Swank Early Skills Development, ABA means:

Helping children build communication skills so they can express themselves.
Teaching independence in everyday routines like eating, dressing, and playing.
Supporting social interaction so friendships and confidence can grow.
Encouraging positive behaviors while reducing challenges that cause frustration.

As a locally owned practice, we can deliver these services where they matter most — in your home, at school, or even at daycare. With strong community connections, we can coordinate seamlessly with teachers and other therapy providers.

ABA isn’t just therapy — it’s about building skills for life and opening doors to a brighter future.

Every parent knows how hard it is to watch their child struggle. When frustration turns into meltdowns, or when changes in routine feel overwhelming, it can leave families feeling exhausted and unsure of what to do next.

At Swank Early Skills Development, we want you to know — you’re not alone.

Through ABA therapy, we help children:
Learn healthy ways to cope with change.
Develop communication skills to effectively share their needs.
Practice social skills to connect more easily with peers.
Gain confidence in everyday situations.

Because we’re a locally owned practice, we don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Instead, we partner closely with families, schools, and local therapy providers to create personalized support that actually works for your child.

Small steps forward lead to big changes — and we’ll celebrate every win with you along the way.

Early Support Matters
When it comes to your child’s growth, the earlier we can step in with the right support, the bigger the difference it can make.

At Swank Early Skills Development, we believe in meeting children where they are and giving families the tools they need to thrive. Whether your child is struggling with:

Communication and language.
Social skills and making friends.
Behaviors that feel overwhelming at home or school.
…early intervention can set the stage for lifelong progress.

As a locally owned and community-connected business, we maintain strong relationships with local schools, daycares, and therapy providers. That means we can work alongside your child’s existing supports to create a plan that fits your family’s needs.

At Swank, early support isn’t just therapy. It’s hope, growth, and brighter tomorrows.

At Swank Early Skills Development, you’re never a number — you’re our neighbors, our friends, and part of our community.

As a locally owned and rooted business in Lancaster County, we’ve built strong relationships with local schools, daycares, and therapy providers. That means we can coordinate seamlessly with the people already supporting your child — ensuring every aspect of their care works together.

When you choose Swank, you’re choosing more than ABA therapy. You’re choosing a team that understands the heartbeat of our community and cares about your family as if it were our own.

That’s the Swank difference: Not corporate—just local, connected, and family-first.

Many people think of ABA therapy as just a way to manage behaviors — but at Swank Early Skills Development, it’s about so much more.

It’s about teaching children how to communicate their needs.
It’s about building independence — from brushing teeth to tying shoes.
It’s about practicing social interaction, so friendships can grow and confidence can shine.

ABA gives children the tools to navigate everyday life — one skill at a time. And when those skills start to click, the doors to growth and independence open wide.

Because we’re locally owned and community connected, we’re able to provide therapy in real-life settings: at home, at school, or in daycare — wherever your child learns best.

At Swank, ABA isn’t just therapy. It’s a path to life skills that last a lifetime.

The early years of a child’s life are full of wonder—and full of potential.
That’s why early intervention is one of the most impactful decisions a family can make when facing developmental delays or signs of autism.

The research is clear:
🔹 Early therapy helps build stronger communication, social-emotional skills, and independence.
🔹 Families feel more empowered when they receive support sooner—not later.

At Swank Early Skills Development, early intervention is at the heart of what we do. We specialize in helping children develop the foundational skills that will shape the rest of their lives.

Through play-based ABA, caregiver collaboration, and a deep understanding of every child’s unique needs, we help little ones grow with confidence, joy, and support.

Because the earlier we start, the greater the impact.

Helping Children Reach Developmental Milestones Through the Science of ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis)

Serving children with Developmental Delays and their families with Compassion and Excellence.

Swank Early Skills Development is an Early Intervention, Special Education, and Behavioral Health provider that uses the science of Applied Behavior Analysis to help children throughout Central Pennsylvania reach developmental milestones that they have not yet met on their own or that they have not met with other treatments alone.

As professional Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), we work with families and other professional team members to assess the developmental and/or behavioral needs of a child. Using objective, measurable data from the initial assessment, we collaborate with the child’s family and existing team to establish a treatment plan that incorporates both research-based interventions and the functional needs of the child within his or her environment.

Through the use of Intensive ABA Intervention, we provide ongoing, direct intervention to target the development of communication, participation, visual perceptual & problem solving, imitation, daily living, pre-academic/academic, visual perceptual, social, and behavioral skills in order to help our clients live fuller, more independent lives.
