Center-based ABA in a space built for your child
Structured ABA therapy inside our Michigan autism centers — dedicated therapy rooms, built-in routines, and peers to practice social skills with, all under BCBA supervision.
What is center-based ABA?
What makes center-based ABA different?
Our centers are designed for therapy: individual session rooms, group spaces, and materials chosen for learning through play. That structure helps many children focus, follow routines, and make faster progress on foundational skills.
Centers also provide what home can't — peers. Practicing sharing, turn-taking, and group instructions alongside other children builds social skills in the setting where they naturally happen.
Who benefits most from center-based ABA?
Early intensive learners
Young children in early intensive programs often thrive on the structure and consistency of a center schedule.
Children working on social goals
Peer interaction, group routines, and shared spaces make the center ideal for social-skill targets.
Families preparing for school
Center routines — transitions, circle time, following group instructions — mirror the school day.
A day at a Mercy Plus autism center
Your child works one-on-one with a Behavior Technician through an individualized plan — a mix of table-top learning, natural play, and group activities, with breaks and reinforcement built in.
A BCBA oversees every program on-site, adjusts goals based on session data, and keeps your family updated on progress.
Structured, supervised, and family-connected
Every center program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
Behavior Technicians (BTs) deliver sessions one-on-one and track data on every goal.
Parent training is woven in, so what your child learns at the center carries home.
