A BCBA evaluates your child’s skills and needs, then builds a clear, personalized treatment plan with measurable goals.

Evidence-Led ABA Therapy
for Manhattan Kids

Applied behavior analysis is one of the most widely researched approaches for supporting children with autism. At The Lighthouse, every Manhattan program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and focuses on communication, social skills, daily living skills, and emotional regulation.

From Washington Heights to Tribeca, our Manhattan team supports children, teens, and young adults ages 2 to 21 as part of our ABA therapy services across New York, whether your child was recently diagnosed or is preparing for the transition to adulthood.
