At Norfolk Autism Center, our mission is clear: to enhance the lives of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) through personalized, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) interventions. We are dedicated to delivering compassionate, child-led care, and we believe in incorporating Montessori-inspired elements to foster independence, engagement, and joy in learning.
Our team is committed to collaborating closely with families to develop strategies that support each child’s unique developmental path, empowering them to achieve their fullest potential. With a focus on individualized care and a dedication to evidence-based practices, we know we can make a positive impact on the lives of children with ASD and their families.
