About ABA Centers of America

ABA Centers of America provides ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy and diagnostic services to people with autism. We help clients and families in our centers, in homes, and in the community. Our company began with one person trying to get help for two young family members with autism. Now our goal is to make long waitlists for ABA therapy and autism diagnosis a thing of the past. Our clinics are in multiple locations, and we are growing, but with careful attention to planning and resources. Client care is at the center of everything we do.
