ABA Therapy in Lexington

At our Lexington, KY location, Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and related developmental delays.

Yes, we offer in-home ABA therapy services in Lexington when clinically appropriate.

In-home ABA therapy allows children to practice new skills in their natural environment, including daily routines, safety skills, communication with family members, and behavior regulation. A BCBA will conduct an assessment to determine whether clinic-based services, in-home therapy, or a combination of both is the most effective setting for your child.
