A passionate & devoted team of ABA specialists on a mission.
At Moving Mountains ABA…
We are a team of Behavior Analysts and ABA therapists on a mission to provide evidence-based ABA therapy to young learners with autism and developmental disabilities and their families.
Our goal is to help minimize barriers that may affect learning while reducing maladaptive behavior as early in development as possible. We do this by teaching the fundamental and socially significant skills that may not have been picked up through the natural environment.
