Our autism clinic in Sugarloaf, PA use ABA therapy services that are designed to help children with autism reach their highest potential! We work closely with both children and their families. Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is regarded as one of the most effective treatments for autism. We’re proud to offer this proven therapy to help your child unlock their full potential and live their best life.
Helping Hands Family understands the challenges children with autism face in communication, socialization, and learning, but with the right support, they can overcome them and thrive. Our clinical team believes every child deserves the support to live a happy, fulfilling life.

One-on-One & Group Sessions
At Helping Hands Family, we offer both one-on-one and group therapy sessions. One-on-one sessions are child-led and play-based.
- Child-led means we learn about your child and craft sessions around their likes, motivations, and interests to maximize engagement!
- Play-based sessions use toys and games as tools to help your child learn in an enjoyable way they’ll be receptive to.
Group sessions allow kids to practice social skills with peers, make new friends, and engage in play and conversation—building the foundation for meaningful relationships.
Celebrating Small Wins with Positive Reinforcement
One of the key reasons ABA therapy works so well is because it focuses on celebrating small victories. Every time your child achieves something new, we provide positive reinforcement which:
- Helps them feel empowered and motivated.
- Highlights their progress.
- Motivates them to keep pushing forward.
- Ensures they focus on their successes rather than their struggles.
Positive reinforcement is all about building confidence and reaching new goals, one step at a time.
