Comprehensive Autism Services in Alexandria, VA

Your Choice for Early Intervention Comprehensive Autism Services

While Verbal Beginnings has been serving Northern Virginia for years with our in-home services, this year we opened our first center in Alexandria! Our Occupational, Speech, and ABA center-based services cater to the unique developmental needs of children between the ages of 1 and 5 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. Our new Alexandria center is led by experienced clinicians who prioritize clinical outcomes to ensure that your child is well-prepared for kindergarten in a preschool-like environment.

Our early intervention services are particularly beneficial for families in the greater Northern Virginia area who are looking for a more comprehensive approach to helping their child on the autism spectrum receive the help they deserve. This means social skills, communication skills, self-care, social-emotional development, and cognitive development, along with creative and imaginative play! With full and half-day programs available, our Alexandria center is just another way for parents to get the support they need. Here are some key highlights of what you can expect from our therapy programs:
