At Lexington Center for Children, we support children and families by building essential communication, social connections, independence, and life skills. Our goal is to raise confidence and foster lifelong success through individualized, evidence-based ABA therapy delivered with compassion. We work with children with autism and a range of neurodevelopmental differences. We believe every child has the potential to grow when given the right support. Everything we do starts with your child and your family’s goals.
At our ABA therapy center in Lexington, we offer a range of services designed to meet children and families where they are. Each program is individualized and built around your child’s specific goals.
Your child works one-on-one with a therapist in a structured, supportive clinic environment. Sessions focus on communication, behavior, social skills, and daily living skills.
Small group sessions give children the opportunity to practice real-world social interactions in a guided, low-pressure setting. Groups are matched by age and developmental level.
We work directly with you to build the skills and confidence to support your child’s growth at home. Sessions are hands-on, practical, and tailored to your family’s daily routines.
ABA therapy works by breaking down the skills a child needs into small, learnable steps and reinforcing them consistently over time. Rather than a generic curriculum, it starts with understanding your child specifically — what motivates them, what gets in the way, and what goals would make the biggest difference right now. A therapist observes, listens, and builds from there. The sessions your child attends are shaped around those findings, not a standard template applied to every child.
Before any sessions begin, your child’s therapist conducts a thorough assessment to get a clear picture of where things stand. From there, a plan takes shape with specific goals your family can actually see progress toward. As your child grows and their needs change, the approach changes with them. Parent involvement is built in from day one, because what happens at home is just as important as what happens in the clinic.

Most major insurance plans cover ABA therapy when a qualifying diagnosis is present. We are here to help you figure out what your plan includes and walk you through the verification process. You will not be left navigating it alone. Many families are surprised to find their coverage is more accessible than they expected. If you are unsure where to start, reaching out to us is the fastest way to get clarity.
Understanding your benefits before your child’s first session removes one of the biggest sources of stress for families. Our team handles the administrative side so you can focus on your child. We work with a range of insurance providers and will let you know what is covered and what to expect. From there, we help you move forward with a clear plan in place.
Many ABA providers say the same things. Individualized care. Experienced team. Family involvement. What actually matters is whether those things hold up once your child is enrolled. At Lexington Center for Children, the families who stay with us do so because they see it working at home, not just on paper. Here is what consistently makes a difference.
When you reach out to us, you will talk to someone who actually listens. We take time to understand what your family has already been through before suggesting anything. From that first conversation, you will have a team that stays consistent and keeps you in the loop at every stage. The progress your child makes here is the kind you notice at dinner, on school mornings, and in the moments that used to be hard.
If you are ready to take the next step for your child, we would love to hear from you. ABA therapy in Lexington, MA is built around your child’s specific needs, not a one-size-fits-all approach. At Lexington Center for Children, you can talk with a member of our team or schedule a consultation online. There is no pressure, just a conversation about your child and what support might look like for your family.

At Lexington Center, multidisciplinary team of expert addiction and mental health professionals are committed to the success of our client’s long-term recovery. Our name symbolizes more than meets the eye. While our brand features the iconic thoroughbred, it doesn’t mean you’ll be working with horses unless you choose to.
Parents come to us with many questions, and we welcome every one. Here are answers to some of the most common ones we hear.
We work with children across a range of ages, from young children who are early in their developmental journey to older children and adolescents working toward greater independence. Your child’s team will tailor the program to their age and specific needs.
A diagnosis is typically required for insurance coverage, but our team can help guide you through that process if you are still in the early stages. Reach out, and we can talk through where you are and what the next steps look like.
Program length varies depending on your child’s goals and their rate of progress. Some children reach their goals in a matter of months, while others benefit from longer-term support. Your child’s team will set clear benchmarks, so progress is always visible.
Consistency matters to us. We work hard to ensure your child builds a strong relationship with their therapist, which makes a real difference in how quickly and comfortably they progress.
Your child’s therapist tracks progress regularly using measurable data, and you will receive consistent updates on how your child is doing. If something isn’t working, the plan is adjusted. You will never be left wondering where things stand.
