Speech Therapy, Coming January 2027
In-house • Coordinated with ABA • Now in credentialing
Many children who receive ABA also benefit from speech therapy. Hope Center for Behavior Change is adding in-house speech therapy, now in credentialing, with services planned to start in January 2027. Your child’s speech and ABA goals will be planned together by one team. We do not offer occupational therapy at this time.

The short answer
Speech therapy works on understanding and using language, speech sounds and alternative communication (AAC). Hope Center for Behavior Change plans to offer speech therapy in-house from January 2027, coordinated with ABA so both work on the same goals. ABA, which can also build communication skills, is available now with no waitlist.
