Description

Bierman Autism Centers is a center-based ABA provider, where young children (2 to 9 years of age) engage in play to learn foundational skills they can build on, such as self-advocacy and communication. Our team is dedicated to making learning welcoming and fun by erasing the line between learning and play, which helps the children to take on new challenges and become motivated as they learn new skills. We recognize that every kid’s success is unique, and our one-on-one approach allows us to drive progress and measurable outcomes through our proprietary measurement system. Here at Bierman, the child is always right – and if they are not learning, we adapt to them. Our goal is to create lifelong learners and long-term success.
