ABA Therapy & EIDBI Services for Apple Valley Families
Evidence-based ABA and EIDBI for Apple Valley families in the southern suburbs.
Built for Apple Valley, rooted in South Metro
Apple Valley families have asked for autism care that doesn't require crossing the metro every day. Our transportation support and tight Highway 77 access make our Golden Valley center realistic for Cobblestone Lake and Diamond Path families.
Many of our Apple Valley parents first reached out after a Minnesota Zoo sensory event or through Children's Minnesota — we honor those local connections by keeping intake personal.
