Supporting children and families
Lake Effect ABA was founded in 2024 because we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential. As the only ABA therapy provider in Cattaraugus County, NY, we are committed to transforming the lives of children diagnosed with autism through compassionate, individualized, and evidence-based therapy.
Our mission is to empower children and their families by providing tailored support that fosters meaningful progress, enhances quality of life, and promotes independence.
The goal at Lake Effect ABA is for us to “work ourselves out of a job” by helping your child thrive in their day-to-day life, and we are dedicated to being a trusted partner in that journey.
ABA therapy might be right for your child if they…
Are not meeting developmental milestones specifically in language, communication, and social skills
Have trouble communicating what they want or need
Don’t seem to be learning how to talk at the same rate as their peers
Engage in behaviors that are harmful or interfere with daily tasks such as tantrums, aggression, or self-injury
Have difficulty being told “no”, with transitions, or with changes in routine
Have trouble playing with toys appropriately or show little interest in functional play
Engage in repetitive behaviors or have narrow interests
Show little interest in social interactions, especially with peers
Don’t respond to their name or greetings from others
Are having a harder time “picking up” on skills compared to their siblings
What can ABA help with?
Language & Communication
Teaching foundational skills such as asking for things, labeling items, and answering questions is an essential part of ABA.
Social & Play
ABA can teach meaningful social and play skills to help your child interact with others and make friends.

Tantrums, aggression, self-injury, and property destruction are a few examples of behaviors ABA can help reduce.
