We welcome families from Johnston and nearby areas, including Des Moines, Dallas Center, Clive, Granger, Grimes, Urbandale, Lovington, and more. We also have ABA centers in Ankeny and Cedar Rapids to serve even more families.

Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) assess each child to create a personalized treatment plan. They consider parent interviews, biopsychosocial documents, and reinforcer profiles to better understand the child’s needs.

We also value caregiver input. Parents know their children best, so we regularly consult with them to adjust goals as needed.

We start with standardized assessments to establish a baseline. Then, we use ongoing testing to measure growth and set new goals. Our evaluations are tailored to each child’s age and skill level.

We accept most private insurance plans, including self-funded and fully funded options. We also accept Iowa Medicaid (IowaHHS), Tricare, grants, and state funding sources to help reduce out-of-pocket costs.
