Day Program

Clinically-proven early care

Tour the day program

Trained directly by

Dr. Greg Hanley's Team

in Skill-Based Treatment (SBT), feeding, and sleep approaches.

Our NDBI approach

Learning that looks a lot like playing.

NDBI (Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention) combines Applied Behavior Analysis with developmental psychology. Rather than structured drills, we embed learning inside daily routines and social play — so skills generalize to real life.

Child-led play

Goals pursued through what your child already loves.

Communication first

AAC-aware, in-house speech consultation.

Dignity & choice

Neurodiversity-affirming practice throughout.

Evidence-based

Measurable outcomes you can feel at home.

How it works

A timely, clear path — from first call to care plan.

We know early identification matters most. Our intake keeps momentum with a minimal wait period and a licensed psychologist at every step.

Reach out

Tell us a little about your child. A scheduler will reach back within a day.

Intake & interview

Complete electronic paperwork and a virtual clinical interview.

Testing & observation

One or two focused sessions — questionnaires, play, records review.

Results & plan

A 1–2 week turnaround with a recommendations session you can act on.

Each clinic has its own personality — sensory swings, indoor playgrounds, individualized therapy rooms — all designed for kids who learn by moving, making, and playing.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son attended Building Blocks ABA Therapy for two years, and I cannot say enough about how wonderful our experience was. From the very beginning, everyone was so welcoming, supportive, and compassionate not only toward my son, but toward me as a parent as well. The communication was always clear, the care was genuine, and the love they showed made all the difference.

During his time at Building Blocks, my son truly thrived. The progress he made was incredible, and I will forever be grateful for the dedication and patience of the entire team. This was truly the best place for him to be, and I always felt confident knowing he was in the hands of people who cared deeply.

I would highly recommend Building Blocks to any parent looking for ABA therapy. The staff, the environment, and the support system are unmatched  it’s more than just a program, it’s a Family and they have made a lasting impact.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The people at building blocks are some of the sweetest people I've ever met. They all truly care about their clients and their progress. Seeing the progress of a client is my favorite part of working here, even every small goal is amazing. I also enjoy how friendly all of the therapist are they are always willing to help or talk!

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son attended Building Blocks ABA therapy for almost 2 years. The staff was professional attentive to all of my sons needs. He loved going to Building Blocks so much that he still bags to go back for visits. Building Blocks has an amazing indoor play space for the kids to get plenty of movement. All of Building Blocks staff were always welcoming to our family. I can not say enough great things about them and I always refer them to anyone who I could benefit from their services.

    Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I loved my sons experience at building blocks! We recently said goodbye after being there for about a good 2 years because they no longer offer part time schedules that accommodates our needs. Everyone here is super loving, caring and informed! Your child will be in great hands and the improvement my son made was amazing! I will say maybe a little more structure could be in place but I also played a role in that not asking enough questions and expressing my sons needs! Still would give a billion stars if I could!
