Therapy Services

Discover Therapy Services

Every service your child needs, coordinated under one roof by a team that communicates, collaborates, and builds toward the same goals.

Why It Matters

When your child's care works together, progress compounds.

Therapy works best when everyone is pulling in the same direction. At Mitchell's Place, your child's therapists don't just share a building. They share a plan, a progress tracker, and a weekly conversation about what your child needs next. 

The result is care that compounds, not care that restarts every time you walk through a different door. That coordination shows up in the outcomes: children who communicate more confidently, navigate the world more independently, and arrive at kindergarten ready to belong. Every service here is designed to build on the others, so progress in one area opens doors in the next.

One plan. One team.

All therapists coordinate directly so your child's goals stay aligned across every session.

Real milestones. Real progress.

We measure what matters to your child and to your family. Goals are individualized to what your child and your family need. We celebrate every milestone and all progress big or small: first words, peer connections, kindergarten readiness, daily independence. 

Evidence-based from the start.

Every approach we use is grounded in research and adapted to your child's specific needs.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

ABA therapy is one of the most well-researched approaches for children with autism. It helps children build communication, reduce challenging behaviors, and gain the skills they need to navigate daily life with greater confidence and independence.

  • Who It's For

    Children with autism ages 2 and up who need structured, individualized support to build functional skills.

  • What to Expect

    Your child works one-on-one with a trained behavior technician, supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).

  • Mitchell’s Place has been a blessing to our family. The education and therapy that has been provided to our son and us has made a huge impact that will last a lifetime.

    Jennifer Cowen

  • There’s a quote I think describes my feelings about Mitchell’s Place. “As one person I cannot change the world, but I can change the world of one person”. The diagnosis of Autism threw a challenge to our family to find the best services available for my son Mitchell. Realizing the options were limited, we decided not only to help our son but to help other families as well by opening Mitchell’s Place in 2005. The outcomes speak for themselves and we are proud to be a part of the Mitchell’s Place Family.
