Applied Behavior Analysis for Autism
At Innovations Developmental Solutions, we believe every child has the potential to learn, grow, and shine. Our ABA Therapy programs are designed not just to address challenges, but to celebrate progress both big and small.




Personalized ABA Therapy, Centered on Your Child’s Needs
ABA therapy is most effective when it is tailored to the unique needs of every child. We begin with a detailed assessment and family conversations to understand strengths, challenges, and goals.
Our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) then designs a plan with clear, practical steps for progress. Therapy may include:
- Communication skills: improving verbal language, alternative communication, and nonverbal interaction.
- Social development: encouraging sharing, turn taking, and building friendships.
- Daily living skills: supporting independence through routines and self care.
- Behavior support: replacing challenging behaviors with positive, functional skills.
- School readiness: preparing children to focus, follow directions, and problem solve in the classroom.
Every session is designed to be engaging and rewarding so children learn while feeling motivated and supported.

Highly recommend Innovativations Behavioral Center Stephanie Collins2024-05-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our daughter has been with IDS since late last year. She is always super excited to attend and my husband and I have seen some real growth and improvement at both school and home. Cathie and all of the IDS staff are professional, caring, and super supportive. We feel extremely fortunate to have found Innovations! Jenny Mitchell2024-05-09Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I interviewed IDS flat out telling them I have mixed feelings about ABA, but at a place where I really felt my son needed more help and support than what he was getting. I'm so glad we made the decision for him to go there. You can tell the staff truly truly care/love my son! He's accepted as he is and is supported in learning functional communication, how to self regulate and learning how to be around peers. I do not want my child to mask who he is, I want him to be the best him he can be - Kathie and her team get that. D M2024-04-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is not your typical ABA place. The reason we love this place is the people and their approach. Cathie, the owner, and her team are amazing. Everyone there are in this for the love they have for the children and the desire to see them thrive. Innovations is neurodiverse affirming, so they embrace differences instead of trying to teach the kids how to be neurotypical. In my family's experience it's been all about support based on our child individual needs, focusing on regulation over compliance, helping with self-advocacy and safety skills and encouraging autonomy. And lots of love. We are very grateful for having found Cathie. Sergio Navarro2024-04-27Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We can't speak highly enough about Cathie and her staff at IDS. For years we were told that our son with Down Syndrome was learning his behaviors in his classroom and did not have Autism. Cathie helped connect my wife with the right people to have him evaluated and officially diagnosed with Level 1 Autism. Feeling so disheartened with all the time we lost of therapy by receiving a late diagnosis, Cathie assured us there was still time. IDS went on to provide years of valuable ABA therapy that made all the difference for him and our entire family. Lin Kitson2024-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cathie Christmas made THE difference in Ethan's life. He was 2 when diagnosed and Cathy's team came to the house and actually accompanied him to the center because he was having such bad tantrums. They have worked with Ethan for 10 years. He is now 12 and has mainstreamed very well at his school. Cathie was there for us during the pandemic and set up a counselor to help out each day with the home schooling process. She has our VERY BEST recommendation!!! Jamie Lachel2024-04-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My son was one of the first clients!
