Why Wall for ABA? 

Individualized, engaging therapy helps children and youth with autism and their families overcome obstacles and create foundations for future success.

Honoring Neurodiversity
Many autistic adults describe negative experiences with old ABA models. Past therapies have been recounted as traumatic and stressful for participants. Our hearts go out to those who did not receive therapies and care that helped them during childhood. When we set out to provide ABA services in 2021, our team intentionally designed a compassionate therapy model that rejects rigid, compliance-heavy approaches. The individual, their family, and clinicians work together to create plans that focus on socially significant goals that are meaningful to the individual.

Playful Learning in a Relaxed Environment
Your child gets the opportunity to explore new skills and learn to interact with peers in a relaxed, engaging way in a natural environment. Our analysts and technicians encourage play-based, enjoyable learning. We offer center-based and home-based settings for our services so you can choose the model that works best for your family. Wall Therapeutic Solutions believes that ABA services are most impactful in-person, but our team also offers Caregiver Led ABA via telehealth for families unable to access in-person services.
