InBloom Autism Services has opened two new Learning Centers in Wallingford and East Granby, Connecticut, expanding access to center-based ABA therapy for young children with autism statewide.
According to the 2020-2021 National Survey of Children's Health, 3.0% of Connecticut parents reported their child, ages 3 to 17, had autism, compared with 2.9% nationally.
The new centers serve children 18 months through 5 years old, featuring play-based learning spaces, individual therapy rooms, sensory-friendly gym areas and mock classrooms designed to support communication, social development and school readiness. InBloom, founded in 2015, has provided center-based ABA therapy in Connecticut since 2019.
Tim Bohman, Chief Executive Officer at InBloom Autism Services, said the company measures its growth by the quality of care it provides. "We don't measure our growth simply by the number of doors we open. We measure it by the quality of care we're able to provide inside those doors. As we expand in Connecticut, we're committed to finding and supporting the best clinicians across the state and building teams that are equipped to provide individualized, meaningful care to every child and family who walks through our doors."
The company has also expanded its Connecticut services to include autism diagnostic evaluations for young children through an in-house licensed psychologist, giving families access to both diagnostic and therapeutic care within InBloom's continuum of services.
"We're excited to bring InBloom's model of individualized, center-based ABA therapy to more families in the region," said Abigail Dunn, M.S., BCBA, LBA, Senior Vice President of Clinical and Operations at InBloom Autism Services. "Our Learning Centers are designed to give young children with autism opportunities to build communication, social, daily living, and school-readiness skills in an environment created specifically for their needs."
The Wallingford and East Granby centers mark InBloom's latest step in extending specialized autism care across Connecticut, pairing new therapy locations with expanded diagnostic services for children during critical early developmental years.
