About Verbal Beginnings Center, 7175 Columbia Gateway Dr.

Verbal Beginnings offers a range of services tailored to support individuals with autism, focusing on Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), Speech and Language Therapy, and Occupational Therapy. ABA is the cornerstone, delivered through both home-based and center-based programs. In the home-based program, ABA Technicians (ABATs) provide direct therapy weekly, working one-on-one with each child. The center-based early intervention program offers a more intensive schedule. This program runs 7 hours daily, Monday through Friday. The ABA services are overseen by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), who supervise ABAT sessions, conduct program development, and meet with families. Speech and Language Therapy focuses on improving communication skills, while Occupational Therapy addresses daily living skills and sensory integration. All services are delivered by trained professionals dedicated to providing high-quality, individualized care.
