If your child is showing signs of autism spectrum disorder, developmental disabilities, or even a lack of verbal or social interaction skills, we can help. Before beginning ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy, your child must obtain an official autism diagnosis.
Early intervention (2-5 years old) in children with autism is a crucial time to make sure they receive the proper therapy and support for a successful, independent life. At Lumiere Children’s Therapy, we focus significant resources on autism diagnosis to eliminate or shorten any wait time. We offer thorough psychological autism screening, testing and ABA Therapy Services for children and teens.
