  • Tailored Communication Programs: Each child's communication journey starts at a different point—whether building foundational sounds or mastering nuanced dialogue. Our therapy approaches are designed around your child's specific abilities and language goals, creating sessions that feel engaging rather than stressful.
  • Playful Language Building: Through inventive play, songs, storytelling, and hands-on activities, children explore self-expression. Our therapists blend each child's natural interests into therapy, helping them strengthen language abilities through enjoyable, authentic interactions.

We teach children to voice their wants, express their feelings, and engage in social settings with assurance. Every gain leads to richer relationships at home and in their community.

What Our Clients Are Saying

I can’t thank the Bierman team enough. Our child was there for 4 years, beginning at age 20 months, so it was a tremendous journey through key developmental years. We didn’t know what ABA was at all prior to starting.
When our child entered Bierman, we had no idea if he would even speak, and now he is thriving in public school, chattering away about his favorite dinosaurs and taking on challenge after challenge. We truly do not know what we would have done without Bierman.
Bierman truly saved my life at a time when I could not manage my child’s behaviors and had no hope that our lives would get better. My child was able to build her tolerance and patience, coping, and calming strategies. The full day gave me the separation that I needed. I received weekly/bi-weekly parenting sessions, which helped me be a better parent.
This place saved my son's and my family's lives. On a less dramatic note, they have extremely high-quality care, communication, problem-solving, support, environment, staff—everything. Everything and every experience we had with Bierman was top-notch, and I am forever grateful for them. I highly recommend them.
Great facility and caring and supportive team.
My 10-year-old Autistic son has been coming here since the center first opened. This center has a lot of structure, open communication, and everything is well-documented—lots of support for the parents, including Parent training. Speech, OT is also offered at the center, which is a plus!
My son had a brief stay at Bierman in Needham because the Bedford location was full, even though it was closer. While he was there, he had some of the kindest, hardest-working, and most intuitive team working with him.
During a time when I didn't have much direction upon learning about my son's diagnosis, I have to say Bierman ABA has helped my family every step of the way.
If you are seeking the services described for your family, stop looking. This is your answer. Thank you to the Bierman family.
I wanted to wait a few months to write this review so I had a fuller experience to reflect on. My husband and I enrolled our 2-year-old son here after immigrating to the United States specifically for ABA therapy to support him. I can confidently say that Bierman ABA has helped guide us through this journey.
Great staff. First-class quality care. My son has been attending full-time for over five years now.
