Adaptive ABA is a center for children with learning, communication, and developmental delays as well
as those who are diagnosed on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). The program combines Applied
Behavioral Analysis with other modalities that best support each individual child. Adaptive ABA offers
a structured environment for children ages 2 to 8 years old. Each child receives one on one
instruction, individual work time, and social time everyday.
Social skills are fostered through group snack, lunch, circle time, and music classes with Trinity
English Lutheran Church preschool. Staff and families work together to support the skills that are
developed to help the child grow.
We offer year-round services with morning, afternoon, or full day sessions. Morning sessions are
$37.50 (8:30-11:30), afternoons are $45.00 (11:30-2:30), full days are $82.50 with a 20% discount for all
cash/check payments. Through our parent company Fresh New Start L.L.C. we are now certified to accept many
medical insurance plans with out-of-network coverage. We also accept the Autism Waiver, Developmental Disability Waiver (DD), Support
Service Waiver (SSW), State Line Item, and Children's Special Health Care Services (CSHCS). A $50.00 registration fee is included which is
used to fund supplies needed for the classroom. The experienced staff makes Adaptive ABA a great place for children with special needs to grow
as individuals.
