01

Lakeville is a rapidly growing community of approximately 73,000 residents and one of the most sought-after family destinations in the south Twin Cities metro. Connected by I-35 and Cedar Avenue (Hwy 77), Lakeville combines small-town warmth with big-city access. The Heritage Center, Antlers Park, and a robust network of trails and lakes make it an ideal place to raise a family — and Dakota Autism Center is committed to ensuring Lakeville families have access to outstanding autism services.

02

Lakeville Area Schools (ISD 194) is a well-regarded district that serves the city's growing student population. Dakota Autism Center partners with Lakeville families to deliver ABA therapy that supports and extends what children learn at school. Our BCBAs tailor every treatment plan to your child's strengths, challenges, and goals — whether that means building early language skills, improving peer interactions, or developing self-care routines for greater independence.

03

At approximately 25 miles south of our Minneapolis center, Lakeville families have a longer commute along I-35 (roughly 30–40 minutes). That's why many Lakeville families prefer our in-home ABA therapy option, which brings skilled therapists directly to your doorstep in neighborhoods throughout the city. For families who do visit the center, the drive is straightforward and our scheduling team works to make each trip count. EIDBI services are available to qualifying Lakeville residents through Minnesota Medical Assistance.

Lakeville ABA Therapy FAQ

Questions Lakeville families ask about ABA therapy

Answers to the most common questions from families in Lakeville and surrounding areas like Apple Valley, Burnsville, Farmington.

5 questions answered

Yes. In-home ABA therapy is one of our most popular options for Lakeville families. Our RBTs travel to your home for sessions, working on your child's individualized goals in a comfortable, familiar environment — all under the guidance of a supervising BCBA.

Our center is approximately 25 miles north of Lakeville. The drive along I-35 typically takes about 30–40 minutes. Many Lakeville families choose in-home therapy to reduce travel time, though some combine center visits with other trips into the city.

We accept most major insurance plans including Blue Cross Blue Shield, UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, and Minnesota Medical Assistance (Medicaid). We handle insurance verification during intake so you know your coverage upfront.

We serve children from toddlers through school age. Research supports beginning ABA therapy as early as age 2–3 for the strongest outcomes, but we design effective programs for children at any developmental stage.

Many Lakeville families find in-home therapy to be the most convenient choice because it eliminates the 30–40 minute drive to our center. However, some families prefer the structure and resources of our center-based program. Our team can help you evaluate which option — or a combination of both — works best for your child and family.
