Compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy for children and families across Norfolk, Virginia. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts deliver in-home and community care throughout the city, with center-based sessions a short drive away at our Suffolk location.
Norfolk is the urban heart of Hampton Roads, a dense, historic city of close-knit neighborhoods from Ghent and Larchmont to Ocean View along the bay. It is also home to Naval Station Norfolk and a deep network of pediatric and medical care, which means a lot of families here are already navigating a busy, layered system. We make the therapy part simpler by bringing it to you.
Whether your child was recently diagnosed or has worked with a provider before, Norfolk families get a thorough assessment, an individualized plan, and one BCBA who owns it from start to finish. When a center setting is the better fit, our Suffolk center is a short drive away, so you can blend in-home and center-based care under a single plan.
Board Certified Clinical Team
Every Norfolk program is built and supervised by a BCBA with deep autism training, delivered by carefully credentialed RBTs.
In-Home Across the City
We bring sessions to your door anywhere in Norfolk, so dense traffic and downtown parking never stand between your child and therapy.
Military and Tricare Families
Norfolk is home to the world’s largest naval base, and we are in-network with Tricare and used to working with military families.
Aligned With Norfolk Schools
Our clinicians coordinate goals with Norfolk Public Schools so therapy, the classroom, and home all stay in sync.
Intentionally Low Caseloads
We keep each BCBA’s caseload small so your child gets consistent, hands-on clinical attention.

Norfolk families juggle a lot, from military schedules tied to Naval Station Norfolk to the appointments that come with the region’s busy pediatric and medical community. We fit into that life instead of adding to it, with one BCBA who stays with your child and a plan that flexes between home and center as needs change.
A dense city also makes the practical side matter. Downtown parking and cross-town traffic can turn a clinic schedule into a daily ordeal, so in-home care keeps therapy steady right where your child is most comfortable. When a center is the better setting, Suffolk is an easy drive away.
We are in-network with Virginia Medicaid, Tricare, and most major commercial plans, and our team handles benefits verification and authorizations for you. With Naval Station Norfolk in the city, we work with Tricare families regularly and make coverage one less thing to worry about. See full coverage details.
For most Norfolk families, in-home therapy is the natural place to begin. Our Registered Behavior Technicians travel to homes from Ghent and Larchmont to Ocean View, Colonial Place, and Berkley, delivering the same BCBA-supervised care you would find in a center, in the place your child is most at ease.
In a busy city, skipping the commute is its own kind of relief. It hands that time back to your child for learning and lets your BCBA build goals around your real routines, from the morning rush to the evening wind-down. Your child keeps learning in familiar surroundings, with you close to every step forward.
