Since 2006, Bierman Autism Centers has soared as a beacon of trust and expertise in the ever-evolving field of autism therapy. We’re a passionate team dedicated to building a lasting legacy of progress, one child at a time.

Our Core Beliefs:

Exceptional Care, Exceptional Results

At BAC, we prioritize your child's well-being with a commitment to continuous progress and infinite possibilities. Our approach integrates exceptional clinical practices and a unique, evidence-based approach to provide personalized support and optimal outcomes. Through data-driven methods and innovative teaching, we empower our clinicians to accelerate each child's progress. Our dedication to personalized care, collaboration, and continuous improvement ensures that every child's journey is marked by success and limitless potential.

Let Kids Be Kids: Empowering Growth through Playful Learning

We believe in igniting a love of learning through playful exploration. Our centers create a warm, stimulating environment where children are encouraged to explore, discover, and develop essential skills like self-advocacy and communication through engaging, playful activities. Laughter fuels discovery, making every day an exciting journey of growth and development.

Embracing Uniqueness: Tailored Care for Your Child’s Journey

Every child is unique, just like a snowflake. We celebrate individuality by offering tailored care that embraces and supports each child for who they are. We customize our programs to address their specific needs and learning styles, celebrating differences and going beyond diagnoses to build on each child's natural talents and interests. Our goal is to create a personalized learning experience they love.

Community. Collaboration. Progress. Together.

We believe in the power of collaboration. Through monthly parent meetings, sensory-friendly community events, and family workshops, we create a supportive village that empowers progress for every child. Together, we navigate limitless futures, crafting a shared map of your child's journey with care tailored to their strengths. We listen to your concerns, celebrate every triumph, and cultivate a supportive and collaborative environment where your child—and your family—can thrive.

Unwavering Commitment to Our Values

At BAC, our core principles guide everything we do. We are passionate about transforming lives, treating everyone with kindness and respect, and always doing what's right for our families. Our steadfast commitment to these values is what sets us apart.

Our Story

At Bierman Autism, we do something different. We’re not just clinicians — we’re pioneers.

Our founder, Courtney’s journey began with a member within her family being diagnosed with autism. From there, she pursued a career providing care for individuals with autism. She started as a behavior technician at an organization within the field. 

In 2006, she started Bierman Autism Center in her apartment, working exclusively in families’ homes. Over time, others joined to lay the foundation of who we are today..

From that humble start in an apartment with a team of one, we’ve grown into a community of caregivers and clinicians across multiple states and centers. A team of passionate, committed individuals has made us who we are today.

What’s scaled isn’t just our reach — it’s our soul and our focus on excellence.

A Dual Promise: Children + Clinicians

We believe meaningful change happens when two missions align:

  • Deliver exceptional outcomes for children with autism
  • Develop compassionate, talented clinicians equipped to change lives

That’s why we call ourselves a Teaching Hospital for ABA—where clinical excellence meets leadership and mentorship.

We serve two missions: transforming children’s lives and building world-class clinicians.

What Makes Us Bierman

  • Outcomes-Obsessed: Everything starts and ends with the child’s growth
  • People-Driven: We develop people—not just processes
  • Execution-Led: Culture is what we do, not what we say
  • Integrity-Guided: We hold the line. Always
  • Never Sit Still: We raise the bar, then raise it again

Built on Principles, Woven into how we operate

From our earliest days, we’ve lived by simple principles that unite us:

  • Joy is Learning: We embed play into everything we do because growth thrives in joy
  • Excellence Is Non-Negotiable: We never sit still. We raise the bar, always
  • People Flourish People: Every leader is a teacher, every staff member a potential leader
  • Culture Is a Choice: We steward it, we protect it, and we shape it intentionally



These aren’t words—they are actions. They guide every decision, every interaction, every day.

Why It Matters to You

  • For families: You deserve a place where your child’s potential is honored, nurtured, and relentlessly pursued
  • For clinicians: You deserve a career that stretches your skill, celebrates your growth, and entrusts you to lead
  • For those ready to lead: Our standard is clear—model excellence, grow others, own the outcome, guard the culture, raise the bar
  • For partners and supporters: You deserve an organization worth partnering with —one with both heart and structure

What We Will Be Known For

We will be the organization that:

  • Built great people to do great things
  • Delivered unmatched outcomes for kids
  • Made the field better by holding the bar higher
  • Stayed true to its soul—even as we scaled across states, systems, and size
  • Constantly raised the bar—because progress is the floor, not the ceiling

The Bierman Way in One Line

We are a teaching hospital for ABA—driven by outcomes, scaled through people, sustained by systems, and anchored in values.

 

We’re Proud of our Story and Clear about our future… This is our Story.
