How to Enroll
We accept clients on a rolling basis year-round based on openings. We do not exclude clients based on sex, race, religion or national origin. Our typical therapy hours are 8:30 am – 3:30 pm Monday through Friday. Clients may be enrolled on a full-time or part-time basis depending on individual needs determined by the Board Certified Behavior Analyst during the assessment.
If interested in ABA Services, clients are required to have a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder or other Developmental Disorder by a licensed Psychologist. The Unumb Center does provide diagnostic services (Neurodevelopment Clinic) separate from our ABA program and can help refer you to other providers.
