Center-Based ABA Therapy
Our center provides a structured, school-like environment where children build essential social, communication, and behavioral skills through guided routines and meaningful peer interaction.
Each child receives individualized programming within a collaborative setting designed to prepare them for school and community participation. With consistent daily routines, small group activities, and one-on-one instruction, your child develops confidence and independence in a space built specifically for their growth.
In-Home ABA Therapy
Therapy takes place in the comfort and familiarity of your own home, where children practice real-world skills in the environment that matters most — their everyday life.
Our therapists work alongside your family’s natural routines, teaching practical skills like mealtime behavior, morning transitions, and social play with siblings. Flexible scheduling options accommodate busy households, making it easier to maintain consistent therapy without disrupting your family’s rhythm.
Family Training & Support
We partner with parents and caregivers to build strategies that extend your child’s progress beyond therapy sessions — because lasting growth happens when the whole family is equipped.
Through hands-on coaching and collaborative goal-setting, we help you understand the principles behind your child’s program so you can reinforce positive behavior at home, at school, and in the community. Family training transforms everyday moments into opportunities for connection and skill-building.
EIDBI — Early Intervention
Minnesota’s Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention program provides comprehensive support for children ages 0–6, fully covered by Medical Assistance.
Early intervention during these critical developmental years can make a profound difference. Our EIDBI services include individualized assessment, targeted skill-building, and family support to help your child reach meaningful milestones during the period when the brain is most receptive to growth and learning.
Childhood deserves presence — not performance
At Dakota Autism Center, we believe that early years aren't about milestones — they're about moments. We slow down the pace of the city to create space for curiosity, kindness, and calm discovery.
We understand that every child's journey is unique. By blending clinical expertise with a warm, nurturing atmosphere, we help children build confidence and essential skills at their own rhythm, ensuring they feel safe, seen, and supported every step of the way.
