(October 19, 2026) – Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education (Cultivate BHE), a nationally recognized provider of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, proudly announces the opening of its 50th clinic in Hamden, Connecticut, marking a significant milestone in the organization’s continued growth and commitment to serving children with autism and their families.
The opening represents an important achievement in Cultivate’s journey, reflecting years of dedication, collaboration, and commitment to expanding access to compassionate, individualized care across the communities it serves. With clinic locations spanning multiple states, Cultivate continues to build upon its mission of helping individuals reach their highest potential through engaging, evidence-based services.
Applied Behavior Analysis, commonly known as ABA therapy, is a research-backed approach designed to help children with developmental disabilities, such as autism, develop important communication, social, behavioral, play, and daily living skills. ABA therapy programs are individualized to each child’s unique strengths and needs and are supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). Through early intervention and individualized support, ABA therapy can help strengthen communication and language development, improve social interaction and peer engagement, build greater independence with daily living routines, and develop important emotional regulation, coping, and school readiness skills.
Cultivate’s journey of growth reflects its ongoing commitment to making compassionate, evidence-based services more accessible to families across the country.
“Reaching our 50th clinic is an incredible milestone for Cultivate, and one that reflects the dedication of our team members, and the trust families place in us,” said Mike Foulk, Chief Operating Officer of Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education. “Our growth is a reflection of our shared commitment to helping children and families thrive. While we’ve expanded into new communities over the years, our mission has remained the same: to provide compassionate, individualized care that makes a lasting difference in the lives of those we serve.”
Cultivate’s newest Hamden ABA therapy center located at 105 Sanford St., Hamden, CT 06514, will provide individualized, evidence-based services for children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental needs. Through a collaborative, family-centered approach, Cultivate’s team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) works alongside families to develop personalized treatment plans that support each child’s unique strengths, needs, and goals.
The new clinic will help expand access to quality ABA therapy services for families in Hamden and surrounding New Haven County communities, including North Haven, New Haven, Cheshire, Wallingford, West Haven, and East Haven.
“We have created a reputation that is synonymous with quality through compassionate care, collaboration with families and dedication to the science of ABA. Adding this clinic in Hamden allows us to meet the growing demand for quality treatment in New Haven County. Finding and building this location has been a labor of love for the families we treat and the field of ABA. I am excited for the opportunity to help more families and continue to build our reputation for quality,” said Patricia Lewandoski, M.S., BCBA, LBA (CT), Clinical Manager at Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education.
The milestone also coincides with the opening of Cultivate’s 51st clinic in Central Louisville, Kentucky, further demonstrating the organization’s commitment to expanding access to ABA therapy in communities across the United States.
Together, these openings represent an exciting new chapter for Cultivate as it continues to grow while maintaining its focus on clinical excellence, compassionate care, and meaningful collaboration with families.
“Opening our 50th and 51st clinics on the same day is a testament to how far we’ve come and the opportunities that lie ahead,” added Foulk. “But our success isn’t measured by the number of clinics we open. It’s measured by the impact we make in the communities we serve, the families we support, and the opportunities we create for our team members. That’s what will continue to drive us forward.”
Cultivate plans to commemorate the milestone with a special open house and ribbon-cutting celebration at its newest Hamden clinic in January 2027, bringing together team members, families, and community partners to celebrate this achievement.
