Child With Autism Receiving ABA Therapy
Early Autism Services ABA Therapy Center in Birmingham

Our Birmingham
ABA Therapy Center

Early Autism Services is now enrolling at our Birmingham therapy center which is located at 200 Vestavia Parkway Ste 2400 in Vestavia Hills AL, 35216.

We offer ABA Therapy, Speech & Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy for children between the ages of 18 months – 12 years old.

Center-based therapy is typically recommended for children who succeed in a more structured setting. This is because the environment can be controlled to better address maladaptive behaviors or skill deficits. This can include children who are easily distracted or who have behaviors that require a more intensive/structured program. Sessions in the clinic do allow for goals to be targeted with peers. This allows clients to build social skills with their peers in a structured setting.
