Your child deserves more than management. Your family deserves empowerment.

We provide ABA therapy services for children and young adults ages 2-21

Our clinical director, Jonathan Cornell, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with two Master’s degrees—one in Special Education, one in Curriculum & Instruction—and holds teaching credentials in English, Social Science, and Special Education. We maintain high standards across our team: all supervisors possess Master’s degrees in related fields (education, psychology, etc.), and direct therapy is delivered by trained behavior technicians and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who have met national certification standards. While behavior technicians receive comprehensive training and ongoing BCBA supervision, RBTs hold additional national certification in behavioral intervention techniques. Every team member is trained in evidence-based practices to support your family’s success.

ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis. It's a scientific approach to understanding how behavior works—and how to teach new skills by breaking them into manageable steps, providing consistent practice, and reinforcing progress. We figure out what's getting in the way of your child's participation in life, and we systematically teach them (and you) how to overcome it. Not through tricks. Through understanding.

You've probably seen criticism of ABA—and some of it is valid. Historically, some ABA practices prioritized compliance over wellbeing, and some autistic adults have shared painful experiences. At CBS, we reject that legacy. We don't chase "quiet hands" or force eye contact. We don't measure success by how "normal" a child appears. We focus on skills that genuinely improve quality of life—communication, independence, self-regulation—and we do it with respect for your child's dignity, preferences, and neurology. If something doesn't feel right to you, we want to hear it. You know your child. We're here to partner with you, not override you.

Most ABA companies focus on the child. We focus on the family. Our goal isn't to create dependence on therapists. Our goal is to make you so knowledgeable, so skilled, so confident that you could train someone else. Because your child's life doesn't pause when the session ends. And the people around them—teachers, grandparents, coaches, neighbors—will need guidance that only you can provide. We're also deeply committed to our clinicians. We hire people who want to be held to high standards, and we invest in their growth—because burned-out therapists can't give your family their best.

It means we focus on skills that actually matter in your child's daily life—not arbitrary targets that look good on paper. Can they ask for what they need? Can they tolerate a change in routine without crisis? Can they sit with the family at dinner? Can they play alongside a sibling? Those are socially significant skills. They're the ones that open doors to participation, connection, and belonging.

A lot. And that's by design. We don't want you watching from another room while a therapist works with your child. We want you in the session—learning why we're doing what we're doing, practicing the strategies yourself, asking questions, building your own confidence. Our job is to work ourselves out of a job. That only happens if you're equipped to carry the work forward.

In your home and community—where real life happens. Skills learned in a clinic don't always transfer to the grocery store, the playground, or grandma's house. By working in your natural environment, we help your child generalize what they're learning to the places it matters most.

Yes. We are in-network with [list insurance providers once credentialed]. If you're unsure about your coverage, contact us and we'll help you verify your benefits before we begin.

There's no universal answer—it depends on your child's needs, your family's goals, and how consistently we can work together. Some children make rapid progress and transition out of services within a year or two. Others benefit from longer-term support. We'll talk openly about timelines and adjust as your child grows. What we won't do is keep you in services longer than necessary. Our goal is independence—for your child and for you.

We hear this more often than we'd like. Not all ABA is created equal, and some families have been burned by providers who didn't listen, didn't explain, or didn't treat their child with dignity. If that's your story, we're sorry. And we want to earn your trust—slowly, transparently, one session at a time. Tell us what went wrong before. Tell us what you need to feel safe. We'll listen.

Our clinical director, Jonathan Cornell, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with two Master's degrees—one in Special Education, one in Curriculum & Instruction. All direct therapy is supervised by a BCBA and delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who have met national certification standards. We hold our team to high standards because your family deserves the best.

The best way to find out is to talk. Schedule a consultation—we'll listen to your concerns, learn about your child, and give you an honest assessment of whether ABA is a good fit. If it's not, we'll tell you. And we'll do our best to point you toward resources that might help.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) is a graduate-level clinician who has completed specialized training in behavior analysis, passed a national certification exam, and maintains ongoing education requirements. BCBAs design treatment plans, supervise therapy, and ensure services are delivered ethically and effectively. At CBS, a BCBA oversees every aspect of your child's care.

An RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) is a trained therapist who works directly with your child under the supervision of a BCBA. RBTs complete a 40-hour training program and pass a national competency assessment. They're the ones in your home, session after session, building skills and rapport with your child.

Consistency matters. We do our best to assign a primary therapist to your child and maintain that relationship over time. If scheduling changes are needed, we'll communicate with you and ensure smooth transitions.

It varies. After assessment, we'll recommend a number of hours based on your child's needs and goals. Some children benefit from 10-15 hours per week; others may need more or less. We'll also consider your family's schedule and capacity. A plan that overwhelms you won't serve your child well.

Yes. With your permission, we can collaborate with teachers, school counselors, and special education staff to ensure consistency across settings. We can also help you prepare for IEP meetings and advocate for your child's needs.

Many of the children we work with have limited or no spoken language. Communication is often one of our primary targets—but communication isn't limited to speech. We may use sign language, picture systems, or speech-generating devices depending on what works best for your child. The goal is functional communication—helping your child express needs, make choices, and connect with others in whatever form that takes.

Yes. While many of our clients have autism spectrum disorder, ABA can also benefit children with other developmental disabilities, behavioral challenges, or learning differences. Contact us to discuss your child's specific needs.
