about what we do
Upon inception in 2014, here at Little Sprouts Behavior, we have taken the utmost care when interacting with patients. We offer in-home one-on-one ABA therapy, behavior reduction, and parent training for those who would like some guidance.
We are committed to serving children despite their behaviors, skill deficits, or diagnosis.
Little Sprouts provides behavioral services to children based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. We work with the entire family to ensure successful and generalized skill acquisition and problem behavior reduction.
