Who We Serve
Our Abilities services support children and youth under age 21 who have an autism spectrum disorder diagnosis and could benefit from additional behavioral support.
A child may be eligible if they:
- Have a current physical and a formal autism spectrum disorder diagnosis from a licensed physician or psychologist
- Have completed a comprehensive diagnostic or functional assessment (such as the Vineland‑II or ADOS‑2)
- Experience behaviors that significantly impact daily life, learning, or safety—for themselves or others
We accept most private insurance plans, most MassHealth Managed Care plans, and private pay, helping make services more accessible for families.
Questions? We’re Here to Help.
If you have questions about your child’s eligibility or insurance coverage, please call us at

Our Process: What to Expect
Assessment
We start with a thorough evaluation to understand each individual's strengths and needs. Families are involved every step of the way as we build a personalized plan.
Treatment
Your child will work with a trained ABA Behavior Technician who builds a trusting relationship and begins skill-building sessions. A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) oversees progress and adjusts the plan as needed.
Ongoing Support
We focus on short-term goals that lead to long-term success. Our team is here to support your child’s journey and celebrate every milestone.
