“Before starting with Little Leaves my child did not speak and had daily meltdowns. We just celebrated our first year working with Little Leaves with our child and he now talks and his behaviors have tremendously improved! I thank Little Leaves staff every day for how well they work with my child. They have become family! I couldn’t recommend a better place for a child with ABA service needs than coming to Little Leaves.”

Little Leaves is the Best First Step for Your Family
Your child deserves the full-time, center-based care that best treats the challenges that come with an autism spectrum disorder. Our model is designed to provide children with the care they may not be able to receive elsewhere, helping them to grow and succeed. Among our differentiators, the most important may be our 1:1 clinician-to-child ratio, which ensures at all times within a Little Leaves center, children are learning, practicing, and playing with direct adult supervision designed to help them develop and learn.
Our Team
Our program is supervised by master’s- and doctoral-level Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and delivered by expertly trained therapists. Within Little Leaves, we have created a model for our professionals to collaborate on treatment approaches, share best practices, and continuously learn from each other. Your child will be supported not just by his or her immediate team, but also by the decades of experience and expertise of all of our clinicians, many of whom have studied and trained in the finest ABA programs in the world. Little Leaves knows that providing the highest-quality services to your child requires a team effort, and that is how we work. You, your children’s families and caregivers–are also integral member of the treatment team, so we make sure you’re highly involved every step of the way as well.
