Here to Uncover the Potential Within Every Child
Lakewood ABA Therapy exists to nurture the abilities that lie inside every child. Guided by compassion, science and partnership, we support families as their children grow into confident and capable individuals.
Our Values
These principles guide everything we do, nurturing growth in every child and family we serve.
Partner with families
Just as a seedling needs both sunlight and water, children flourish when a parent's intuition combines with clinical guidance.
Focus on the big picture
Goals and skills are selected thoughtfully, knowing that today's growth lays the foundation for tomorrow's independence.
See the whole child
Your child is so much more than a diagnosis. We honor their strengths and spirit and nurture growth that reflects who they truly are.
Progress with patience
Neither trees nor children grow overnight. Gradual, consistent progress builds the strongest roots.
Build trust together
Open, honest communication makes it easy to stay connected, ask questions and feel confident every step of the way.
