My son just started 3 weeks ago, he loves it here! As first time autism parents, they’ve been super reassuring, RESPECTFUL, patience and very understanding. From always making sure we never missed appointment reminders to daily updates bout our baby throughout the day🥹 Brittany Whipple is a real one. HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER!! Thank you for listening. The staff here are so welcoming, SWEET & patience. Every morning i come in to drop off, everyone gets a GREET at the door which I personally thinks is the best part🤍 The only downside i have is, the waiting area to drop offs & pickups. It’s a small area. And i kinda wished they’d have a better system like check in/ pickups the kids always come through the front door and some wait in waiting area too and it gets crowded fast bc there’s us (parents) waiting as well. I was a bit overwhelmed. But other than that, i thank you ABS family for welcoming us!
This place is not just a center; it's like a second home for our child. You are all wonderful, from the staff and supervisors to the administrators. We can't find the words to express our gratitude. This is evident in our son's enthusiasm to go there every day, where he learns new skills. With our sincere love, appreciation, and respect.
Behavior technicians Linnea, Emmie, and Tomas are wonderful with my son. BCBA Kenna is conscientious, supportive, and great to work with. We are happy with ABS, and most importantly, our son is happy at ABS.
ABA has been a great experience for my family as a single mom. I can honestly say it’s been relieving. My son has been learning and Thriving. This is the best thing I think has happened For me and my son, I love the monthly meetings, parent meetings. My son was diagnosed with autism back in November. I wasn’t completely aware of what ABA was and the benefits. It would have. This was the best decision I made So far these people deserve five stars!
My son had the privilege of being able to go to 3 center locations throughout his time with ABS as we did have a couple of moves. The center was amazing, personally we got to experience another family. Amazing center and everyone is always so welcoming. My kiddo was always excited to go. We did have a good amount of staff changes on his team but the center tried their best to always find coverage so my son got to meet a lot of people which I think helped his social skills a lot too. The parent meetings were very helpful in making sure my son was on track to get ready for kindergarten. He was able to gain so many skills and I would 100% recommend ABS Kids to anyone!
