New Autism Support Centers Now Open in Springfield & Fall River

November 2, 2025

Immediate Openings Available - No Wait List

Behavioral Health Network, Inc. (BHN) is proud to announce the opening of its new Abilities Learning Centers in Springfield and Fall River, Massachusetts, offering immediate openings with no wait times for children and youth under 21 with an autism diagnosis.

 

The centers provide Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services designed to help children with autism build communication, social, and daily living skills through play, connection, and personalized care. Families can choose between in-home services or care at our new centers, which feature structured learning environments, peer interaction opportunities, and calming sensory rooms.

 

“We’re thrilled to bring these new centers to life,” said Matthew Matroni, M.A., BCBA/LABA, Program Manager of Applied Behavior Analysis Services at BHN. “Our goal is to create spaces where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to grow. These centers reflect our commitment to providing high-quality, accessible care that meets families where they are.”

 

Appointments are available in the morning and afternoon, with greater availability in the mornings at the new centers. There is no waitlist, and services can begin immediately.

 

BHN accepts most private insurance, most MassHealth Managed Care plans and private pay, making it easier for families to access the care they need.

 

Locations:

  • 583 East Columbus Ave. Springfield, MA
  • 182 North Main St. Fall River, MA
