A safe and peaceful life is achievable with the right professionals in your corner. At BES, our team of experienced clinicians will meet with your family to understand your unique challenges and strengths. Together we will develop a treatment plan that can provide the change your family needs.

You Are Not Alone

Navigating an ASD diagnosis and treatment needs can be daunting, but you don’t have to do it alone. BES is here to help, offering a compassionate and supportive environment where you and your child can thrive. Together, we can make a positive difference in your child’s life and help them reach their full potential.

At Behavioral & Educational Solutions (BES), we recognize that observing your child’s development and noticing differences can be anxiety provoking. Our experienced team at BES is here to support you every step of the way.

How BES Can Help Your Family

At BES, we offer comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic services designed to meet the unique needs of children with ASD and their families. Our approach is holistic, integrating evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy with traditional counseling to support not only your child, but your entire family.
All-Inclusive Family Support
We provide exclusive counseling and training for parents, siblings, and caregivers of the children we treat to help manage stress, improve family dynamics, and support your child’s progress at home.
Hybrid ABA Therapy Model for School-Aged Children
As your child approaches school age, we transition to a hybrid model combining home, school, and clinic-based services, ensuring consistent and comprehensive care tailored to their evolving needs.
Clinic-Based ABA Therapy
For children under six, we offer a structured and controlled clinic environment that minimizes distractions and enhances focus. Our facility is equipped with specialized resources and tools to support your child’s development and prepare them to start school ready to learn.
Diagnostic Services
Our skilled psychologists conduct thorough evaluations to test and diagnose ASD and/or identify any co-occurring conditions. We ensure a complete understanding of your child’s needs, providing clarity and direction.
