Our integrated, whole-person care also ensures that any co-occurring conditions are addressed in your treatment plan and serviced at Fraser.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)
If your child needs to develop skills related to safety, learning, play, communication, gross and fine motor skills, and social skills, Fraser ABA services may be right for you. Group and individual therapy sessions meet for 20+ hours per week, identifying barriers to learning, and strengthening skills in an effort to transition services to a less intensive setting (e.g., preschool setting).
Fraser offers intensive ABA services in Minneapolis, Coon Rapids, Bloomington, and Woodbury. We also offer expanded access to intensive ABA in our Fraser Autism Center of Excellence Satellite Locations in Maple Grove, Eden Prairie, Brooklyn Center, Burnsville, and St. Cloud, with additional sites opening regularly.
Intensive ABA services are provided in partnership with Speech and Occupational Therapy at all sites that offer Intensive ABA. Services provided at our Fraser Autism Center of Excellence Satellite sites connect families back to Fraser’s full-sized clinics to support them across their lifetime.
