BALANCE Autism is a leading autism service organization in Iowa founded in 1991, operating as a CARF-accredited nonprofit 501(c)3. The organization provides comprehensive Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services for individuals across the lifespan, from early intervention through adulthood, with a mission to create living and working opportunities for people with autism spectrum disorder. The organization operates clinic locations across Iowa, including Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, Waterloo, and the Des Moines Metro West area. Services include intensive 1:1 ABA instruction using evidence-based intervention strategies, behavioral consultation, and support for children, adolescents, and adults. Programs range from preschool services through adult-focused options including community-based employment supports and residential opportunities. Family involvement is central to BALANCE Autism's approach, with parent training and family coaching integrated throughout their service delivery. Board Certified Behavior Analysts work with the whole family system, including siblings, to ensure sustainable skill development and community integration. The organization serves more than 300 children and 150 adults annually through their network of trained and certified staff members. With an operating budget of $24.4 million and multiple service locations, BALANCE Autism represents one of Iowa's most established providers of autism-specific interventions.

Very Professional
They have a great way to teach the autistic children to learn and give them a chance to become a member of the society. Thanks for your time and consideration you have spent teaching my great grandchild so I could understand what his wants are and he could understand mine. Together we will conquer.
