StarBright Centers provides ABA therapy for children and adolescents with autism and other developmental differences, typically ranging from 18 months to 18 years old. Each program is personalized to fit the child’s age, abilities, and goals.

We offer flexible options to meet your family’s needs. Sessions can occur in our center, at home, in school, or in community settings where your child naturally spends time. Your BCBA will help decide which setting is the best fit for your child’s learning and comfort.

Session length depends on your child’s individual needs and treatment plan. Most sessions last 2 to 6 hours, scheduled several times per week. Some children participate in full-day center programs, while others receive shorter sessions at home or in school.

Your child will work one-on-one (and sometimes in small groups) with a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), guided by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Sessions are fun, play-based, and focused on meaningful goals such as communication, social interaction, daily living skills, and reducing challenging behaviors. Every success is celebrated with positive reinforcement and encouragement.

Parents are an essential part of the StarBright team. You’ll participate in regular progress meetings, parent training sessions, and goal discussions with your BCBA. We’ll share practical strategies and activities you can use at home to keep your child’s growth consistent across all environments

Our programs are built on compassion, collaboration, and individualized care. We combine clinical excellence with a family-centered approach, ensuring that every child receives high-quality, evidence-based therapy in a warm, supportive environment. We believe therapy should feel joyful, purposeful, and empowering for both children and families.

All StarBright therapy sessions are delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) under the close supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Our clinicians complete extensive training in compassionate care, trauma-informed practices, and ongoing professional development to ensure high-quality service.

If your child has been diagnosed with autism or struggles with communication, social interaction, daily routines, or challenging behaviors, ABA therapy may help. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your child’s strengths, needs, and goals to determine if our program is the right fit.
