Starlight ABA - Reno

Our ABA program is neurodiversity-affirming, teaching skills that improve daily life without asking children to give up who they are. Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts design and supervise intensive plans that cover language, imitation, motor skills, play, daily living, reading, writing, and group instruction. Much of our therapy happens at home, where we use Natural Environment Training built around your child's interests and routines. We also see clients in our centrally located Reno clinic and out in the community. In schools, we work closely with the local district to provide one-on-one support focused on behavior reduction and social skills, along with consultation and training for school staff.

At our Reno center on Baker Lane, we build every treatment plan in-house around your child rather than using prepackaged programs. We serve children from 18 months to 18 years, and our team covers everything from early language skills to advanced academic concepts. Each child always has a one-on-one therapist and moves between individual and group settings through the day, with positive behavior strategies that keep learning fun. Parents are welcome in sessions under our open-door policy, and we offer individual and group training on toileting, behavior management, communication, verbal behavior, and social skills. Our consultants also help with sleep, potty training, self-help skills, and school IEP planning. We serve Spanish-speaking families as well.

Since January 2018, we have provided ABA therapy in Reno for children ages 2 to 17 with autism and other developmental disabilities. Our therapy is assent-focused and compassion-driven, built to increase each child's independence and autonomy. In 2022 we expanded into a newly renovated 6,000 square foot clinic on Reno Corporate Drive, right next to our original space. We invest heavily in our staff, with extensive training and support so our therapists grow in the field and deliver strong care. Beyond direct therapy, our Behavior Analysts offer consultation packages for parents, schools, and organizations, including intensive potty training programs, classroom management training, and staff training on the principles of ABA.
