State of the art therapy center including a sensory motor room.
Learning should be fun! At Behavioral Foundations we know that if your child isn't motivated and having fun, the opportunities for learning go out the window. That is why we have stocked our center with engaging ABA therapy rooms and a fun sensory and motor room to encourage your child's communication and social skills.
Schedule a tour of our facility to take a look for yourself at the fun learning center we have to offer your child.
Social and peer interaction programs including art and music activities.
We have some great programs to teach social skills, involve peers in everyday interactions and facilitate age appropriate language skills among friends in our unique Play And Learn Session (PALS) programs. Using fun activities like art, music, creative building projects, and fun community outings, we teach kids of all ages and skill levels to engage in meaningful interactions with one another and build friendships.

Community based services available in your home or child's school.
We offer some great programs at our center-based location, including opportunities for fun communication sessions using our sensory and motor room, arts and craft time, direct ABA therapy sessions and our unique peer programs (or PALS program). However, we also understand that some families have needs that are better addressed in the home or community, which is why we also offer services to be provided to you at your home or other community setting (such as a daycare, school etc).
Contact us at info@behavioralfoundations.com to learn more about which service location may be a good fit for you and your child.
