What Happens Next

Our Approach to Supporting Your Child

From the first evaluation through daily therapy sessions, our team coordinates every step of care to support your child’s growth and help your family feel confident along the way.

1

Begin with an Individualized Plan

Individualized ABA, Speech, and Occupational Therapy designed around your child’s needs and goals.

2

Coordinate Care Under One Roof

A coordinated care model where ABA, Speech, and OT work together to streamline treatment and support your family.

3

Deliver 1:1 Therapy in a Collaborative Space

ABA therapy is delivered 1:1 with an RBT, while the open clinic setup mirrors real learning environments and encourages collaboration.

4

Monitor Progress and Adjust Along the Way

The team continually monitors progress and adjusts strategies using evidence-based practices to support meaningful skill-building.

Thoughtfully Designed for Learning

Understanding Our Approach

From start to finish, we are breaking the status quo in therapy for children diagnosed with Autism. Our company’s founders are moms first, and clinicians second! The idea to bring three therapy practices under one roof, full-time, was created to benefit both the child and the parent.

“A collaborative model that supports the whole child—and the entire family.”

Open, Bright Environments

Our clinics are designed to be open and bright, allowing your child to experience a collaborative environment and better prepare them for the future.

Individual Care, Shared Spaces

While all of our ABA treatment will be 1:1 between your child and a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), the classrooms are not closed and separate to closer mirror future learning environments.

Early Focus on Independence

With full-time treatment in early stages, we hope to give your child a head-start on independence.

Our Essential Mission

At Essential Speech and ABA Therapy, excellence in care is at the heart of everything we do. Our facilities are open to children ages 18 months to 6 years old with full-time treatment, emphasizing early intervention.

Coordinated Care Under One Roof

By bringing ABA Therapy, Speech Therapy, and Occupational Therapy all under one roof, we aim to streamline treatment to benefit both parent and child alike.

A Team Approach for Your Child

The collaborative model ensures a team approach to crafting your child's needs, as our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP), and Occupational Therapist (OT) will work together to craft treatment specifically for your child.

Parent Education Built In

We focus on education with parents as well as treatment for their children, as our BCBA will incorporate parent training within the program to ensure you grow with your child.

Why Families Choose Us

From Our Learning Environments to Family Involvement, We Put Children First

Bright, Child-Friendly Environments That Mirror Natural Settings

Clinics are thoughtfully designed to be open, bright, and reflective of real learning environments rather than isolated therapy rooms, which helps with generalization and comfort.

Collaborative, Multidisciplinary Care Under One Roof

Your child receives evidence-based therapies all in one clinic, ensuring coordinated, personalized care rather than fragmented services across separate providers.

Family-Focused Early Intervention Model

Designed specifically for ages 18 months to 6 years with full-time early intervention that helps give children a meaningful head start toward independence.

Parent Education and Involvement Built In

Our approach includes parent training with a BCBA so you’re empowered with strategies that extend learning beyond the clinic.

Transparent, Compassionate Communication

Parents consistently report clear, patient, and professional communication in a supportive environment that treats families like partners, not just clients.

Helping Your Child Thrive

Each child benefits from a holistic, collaborative approach where therapies work together to foster growth, independence, and meaningful progress. From one-on-one ABA sessions to speech and occupational therapy, our team works together to build skills and create a positive environment where children can grow and succeed.

Personalized, evidence-based support for communication, daily living, and learning skills through structured guidance.

Speech Therapy

Supports communication development, including speech, language, and social interaction, tailored to each child’s needs.

Occupational Therapy

Through play-based and goal-driven activities, OT focuses on sensory processing, motor development, and practical skills that support success at home and school.

Comprehensive, full-time early intervention designed to support development during critical early years.

Parent Training & Collaboration

Empowering families with tools and strategies to support learning beyond the clinic.

Hear From the Families We Serve

The feedback below comes from families across our clinics nationwide and was shared voluntarily, reflecting their personal experiences with our team.

"If you want consistency, structure, compassion, and family like therapy for your little...look no further"
"After touring multiple ABA facilities for our little one, we found "THE ONE"...this facility is the entire package! It's small, clean, and their staff is amazing! From the owner to the front desk, no disappointments. Their communication is impeccable, transparent, everyone is patient, knowledgeable, and truly cares about any child/family who walks-in. If you want consistency, structure, compassion, and family like therapy for your little...look no further! Our city truly lacks Speech and ABA therapy centers and no child should be waitlisted. Early intervention is key! Call/come for a tour...you will not regret it!"
"I was so scared of having my son in ABA therapy but it has been the best decision."
"I can’t say enough good things about this place. I was so scared of having my son in ABA therapy but it has been the best decision. In April it will be a year since my son started and he is talking now which was one of my main concerns. He has come so far. The therapists are all so nice and great with the kids and the office manager is always so responsive and is always helping with any concerns. Thank y’all for everything that all of you do."
"I would definitely recommend this place."
"My son has been attending for over a year and the progress I have seen in his speech development, socialization, and his motor skills has been amazing. He loves going every day and the staff have been nothing but kind to him. There are weekly check ins to make sure we are all on the same page. They offer assistance with medical visits too."
"Excellent speech and OT services"
"Essential Speech and ABA Therapy has excellent speech and OT services, and amazing RBTs who truly have a passion for their work. We have seen so much growth this year!"
"Absolute game changer for my 3 year old!"
"The clinic staff are kind, thorough and professional. I am seeing a decrease in behaviors, and gaining tools to support my child on his lengthy journey with this diagnosis. I am so glad I found care for him where he is not only loved, but supported to be his best self despite his challenges. I would highly recommend this establishment to anyone, no stone is left unturned."
"My son absolutely loves it here."
"He is excited to get up and go to therapy in the mornings and the staff is very kind, accommodating and professional. He has improved drastically with being able to communicate his demands at home and has only been in therapy for a few months. It is also a bonus that he receives speech therapy, occupational therapy and ABA services all under the same roof and it is incorporated in his schedule every day when other locations only offer speech or occupational outside of the program if they offer it at all."
"I’m so grateful for the positive changes we’ve seen. Highly recommend!"
"Seeing my grandchild’s progress at this ABA clinic has been incredible. Jordyn always makes us feel heard through this new diagnosis. He is always so excited to come in every day and see his favorite therapists."
"My child is learning so much so quickly"
"I CANNOT say enough good things about my experience here, my child is learning so much so quickly, and every one has been so helpful! The therapists really care about their clients. Everyone I’ve come in contact with has been so sweet and kind, and I am so happy I chose this clinic to take my child to! The clinic is beautiful and clean and they work one on one all day with my baby! If you are looking for a great place to actually help your Autistic child, please give them a call!! :)"
"I can’t say enough how life-changing their programs have been for our family"
"My son started speech therapy 2 years ago with their practice and then later started the full-day ABA program. I can’t say enough how life-changing their programs have been for our family. HIGHLY recommend this amazing group of therapists!"
"They truly deliver an experience unlike anything I’ve seen in the ABA world"
"ESA sets the bar high. I’ve had the privilege of being able to witness what amazing work the RBTs do with the kids there. They truly deliver an experience unlike anything I’ve seen in the ABA world and I’m truly grateful to have been a part of it. 10/10 would recommend if you’re looking for quality care in Autism Services. It’s all in one holistic approach to ABA therapy founded on the premise of Assent based learning. Truly wonderful"
