Founded by parents who successfully championed the transformative impact of ABA therapy for their own son, Spectrum Achievers ABA was created from a deeply personal mission to support children with autism and their families. Our mission is to empower each child to build skills, grow in confidence, and reach meaningful goals through individualized support.
We bring over two decades of personal, hands-on experience from our own family journey with autism and ABA therapy. That experience shapes the compassionate care and family-first approach at the center. Supporting children with autism is not simply a service we offer. It is a calling rooted in lived experience and a genuine commitment to families.
We’re driven by a strong determination to give each child individualized support, guidance, and opportunities to build important skills. We focus on children’s abilities rather than their disabilities. By recognizing each child’s strengths and interests, we create learning opportunities that support confidence, independence, communication, and everyday growth.
Spectrum Achievers ABA was founded by parents who understand the questions, challenges, and hopes that can come with raising a child with autism. Watch our son’s progress from diagnosis to his current achievements and gain a glimpse into the personal story behind the center.
That journey continues to shape the way we approach ABA therapy, family communication, and individualized care.

Our ABA program is built around language and communication. Our team works with your child for many hours every week, and communication goals like asking for help, making choices, and answering questions are part of almost every session. We are not speech therapists, and families who also want speech therapy can get it through our trusted partner provider, with our team coordinating so goals work together.
At Spectrum Achievers, we focus on Early Independent Life Skills by empowering children to build practical skills that support greater independence and confidence. In our center, children can work on everyday skills through individualized, age-appropriate learning opportunities.
At Spectrum Achievers, you're not only receiving therapy for your child, but you're also gaining guidance and support for your family. Parent support focuses on helping families understand ABA strategies, participate in their child’s progress, and feel more confident supporting skill development at home.
At Spectrum Achievers, we address feeding challenges because feeding skills can be an important part of a child’s daily routine and overall development. We understand that introducing new foods and building healthy mealtime habits can be challenging for some children. Individualized support focuses on helping children develop practical feeding skills in a supportive setting.
We make sure families who primarily speak Spanish can communicate comfortably with staff about their children's needs, progress, and concerns. Hablamos Español so Spanish-speaking families can communicate more comfortably throughout the therapy process. Clear communication helps families stay involved and understand their child’s goals and progress.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based discipline that focuses on developing skills and supporting positive behavior change. ABA therapy can support skill development and help children with autism build greater independence and participate more fully in everyday activities.
We use play-based ABA therapy that is data-driven and individualized to your child. We carefully assess each client, and identify target behaviors along with the underlying factors contributing to those behaviors. Then, we develop personalized treatment plans using a play-based approach to teach new skills and promote positive behaviors.
Our BCBAs carefully assess your child’s individual strengths, needs, skills, and areas for growth to help guide the therapy process.
Together with parents, we establish specific, meaningful, and achievable goals based on the child’s needs and family priorities.
Our BCBAs tailor treatment plans to your child’s specific needs, strengths, and goals, creating an individualized approach rather than a one-size-fits-all program, with RBTs delivering the day-to-day sessions.
ABA emphasizes positive reinforcement to strengthen desired behaviors and make learning engaging, encouraging, and meaningful for your child.
We continually collect and analyze data to track progress, make informed decisions, and adjust individualized interventions when appropriate.
