Preschool Instruction Designed for Children with Autism

At the Autism Center, our mission is to improve the quality of life for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and their families through individualized, evidence-based education founded on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).

We provide ABA services for children ages two to six-years-old along with the potential for integration with typically developing peers. Our caring and compassionate instruction relies on the latest published research to increase functional life skills, social skills, and pre-academic skills in the clinic and in the community.

We offer flexible services, both full-time and part-time inclusion models, and both three- and five-day schedules are available options). Our center is located on campus and works in collaboration with the Regis Children’s Center. All our behavior therapists are current graduate students in the Master of Science in Applied Behavior Analysis program at Regis. Insurance is accepted for ABA services received on site.

We are actively enrolling new students on a rolling basis, and we encourage families to learn more.
