Empowering Neurodiverse Children Through Compassionate, Play-Based Therapy.
About At FRIENDS ABA, we believe every child is full of potential—and deserves to be seen, heard, and supported. We offer a warm, caring and engaging environment where children with diverse developmental needs can grow through personalized, play-based ABA therapy rooted in respect, connection, and joy. We honor neurodiversity by embracing each child’s unique way of thinking, learning, and interacting with the world. Our approach is not about changing who a child is—it’s about helping them thrive on their terms, while fostering confidence, communication, and connection.
Our Mission At FRIENDS ABA, our mission is to help children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental and behavioral challenges build the skills they need to learn, grow, and thrive.We provide individualized, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services designed around each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals. Through compassionate care, caregiver training, education, and ongoing collaboration, we work alongside families to create meaningful and lasting progress.Our goal extends beyond therapy. We strive to help children develop greater independence, communication, social skills, confidence, and everyday living skills so they can participate more fully at home, in school, and within their communities.At FRIENDS ABA, we believe every child has the potential to grow. We are committed to creating a supportive, respectful, and encouraging environment where children and families feel valued, empowered, and supported every step of the way.
Our Approach At FRIENDS ABA, we use assent-based practices, meaning we prioritize the child’s voice and comfort throughout every step of therapy. We believe therapy should be a collaborative experience—not something done to a child, but with them. We focus on supporting children across eight areas of development:
Language & Communication
Social Interaction & Play
Cognition & Executive Functioning
Motor & Adaptive Skills
Academic Readiness
Emotional Regulation
Positive Behavior Support
Daily Living Skills
Our therapists use play as the foundation for learning, blending natural exploration with structured support. Whether it's building a tower, engaging in a pretend tea party, or navigating a social game—play becomes a powerful tool to encourage meaningful growth.
