Center-Based ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy helps children develop essential life skills, from effective communication and building friendships to managing daily routines—all in a supportive and engaging setting.
ABA is especially valuable for children with autism because it focuses on teaching new, positive behaviors while addressing challenges that may impact learning or social interactions. Through this approach, children gain the confidence and skills they need to grow, explore, and thrive at a pace that works for them.
Early Beginnings
At Verbal Beginnings, we recognize that the early years (ages 1.5–6) are vital for children with autism and other developmental differences. That’s why our programs focus on creating strong foundations that support a child’s overall growth.
Our approach emphasizes key early skills—like language, communication, independent play, and social interaction—helping children develop the tools they need to succeed both at school and in daily life.

FAQ
Do we have a waiting list?
We don’t keep a waitlist because we want families to receive services without delay. If you reach out and we aren’t currently able to provide care in your area, we’ll offer resources to help you find providers who are available. As we are always recruiting and training new team members, we encourage you to check back later to see if openings have become available.
Do we use the VB-MAPP and/or provide VB instruction?
Yes! The majority of our therapists utilize the VB-MAPP assessment to assess children with deficits in the area of communication. The assessment is then used to create the communication goals needed and VB instruction is utilized to teach those skills. Learn more about the VB-MAPP here.
What does the process of beginning services look like?

How long do children typically need ABA therapy?
This is really determined on a child-by-child basis and cannot be determined by anyone but the BCBA and treatment team working with your child. ABA is an ongoing therapy that can change and grow with your child to cater to their ever-changing needs as they continue to grow older.
