Every inch of our Autism Learning Center has been thoughtfully planned with your child in mind. The result is a comfortable and nurturing environment where children are inspired to reach their greatest potential. Our facility includes a indoor play space, fine motor room, individual learning rooms, and group therapy rooms.
Community Autism Services provides comprehensive ABA services, diagnostic evaluations, and one-on-one behavioral and psychological therapies for children with autism and developmental delays.
Our Autism Learning Centers provide a safe and welcoming place where children can learn, play, and grow. Through fun activities, specialized resources, and peer interactions, kids build important skills, confidence, and friendships in an engaging environment.
We bring ABA therapy right to your home, where your child feels most comfortable. Our caring team works closely with your family to create a personalized plan that helps your child learn new skills, make progress, and thrive every day.
We work with schools to provide caring professionals who support students with autism and developmental needs. Together with teachers, we help children learn, build positive behaviors, and succeed in the classroom.
Our licensed psychologists provide clear, compassionate evaluations to help families better understand their child’s strengths and needs. With accurate, timely diagnoses, we’re here to help guide you and your child to get the support they need.
Our Early Start program helps infants and toddlers grow, connect, and thrive from the very beginning. We guide parents with practical strategies and support each child’s unique needs in communication, movement, and sensory development.

At Community Autism Services, a division of The Stepping Stones Group, we understand that no two families approach autism treatment the same way. That’s okay! To make sure your family gets the most personalized ABA therapy, we offer both center-based and at-home programs to suit your lifestyle and goals. See all areas we serve below or contact our team to learn more about our in-home services.

Our centers follow a play-based model where children learn through play in individual and group settings, including indoor/outdoor playgrounds, a preschool-style classroom, and open play areas with toys like train sets, a play kitchen, and costumes.
Similar to traditional childcare, our schedule includes play, snacks, meals, small group activities (circle time, crafts, imaginative play), and naps. What sets us apart is that each child is paired with a behavior technician who implements a personalized treatment plan under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, fostering communication, social skills, play, attention, and independence. Our centers are fun, engaging, and child-motivated!
