I AM SMART S-COOL! ABA Therapy Center began its journey in January 2013 with just five clients and a vision to create impactful, individualized support for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). From humble beginnings, we have grown significantly, transforming into a dynamic learning environment featuring multi-level classrooms and specialized spaces designed to facilitate personalized therapies and developmental supports.
