(April 7, 2025) – In celebration of Autism Acceptance and Awareness Month, Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education (Cultivate BHE) proudly announces the grand opening of its newest ABA therapy center in Wilder, Kentucky. This milestone reflects the organization’s ongoing mission to create more inclusive, supportive, and empowering communities for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Recognizing the growing need for high-quality autism services in the Northern Kentucky area, Cultivate BHE responded by opening its third location in the Northern Kentucky region. The new Wilder center will help to meet the rising demand for Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, offering more families access to compassionate, evidence-based care that supports children in building independence and reaching their highest potential.
Cultivate BHE provides individualized and collaborative treatment programs across multiple settings, including clinics, homes, and schools. This ability to deliver services across environments is a unique and valuable distinction within the ABA community.
“This opening is more than just a new center, it’s a symbol of progress for autism acceptance,” said Julie Riordan, BCBA, LBA-KY, COBA, MOT, Clinical Manager of the Wilder location. “We are so excited to expand our services and bring high-quality care to more families in Northern Kentucky—specifically in Campbell County! Our dedicated team is committed to fostering meaningful progress for every child and family that we serve.”
The Wilder location is thoughtfully designed to create a welcoming and supportive space for both clients and their families. With dedicated therapy rooms, interactive learning areas, and an environment tailored for skill development, the center provides a supportive setting where children can learn, grow, and succeed.
“Opening a new center during Autism Acceptance & Awareness Month reminds us of why we do what we do,” said Michael Foulk, Chief Operating Officer. “Every child deserves access to compassionate care and opportunities to thrive. This new location is a testament to our team’s dedication, and we’re excited to continue expanding our reach in Northern Kentucky.”
The Wilder center marks a pivotal moment in Cultivate’s journey of growth and service. With 10 additional de novo centers and multiple expansions planned in the coming months, the organization remains focused on removing barriers to care and making a lasting impact on the lives of families across the country.
