BCBA-led center-based therapy for autistic children, ages 2–10, at our Brooklyn Park clinic. Medical Assistance and EIDBI welcome.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapy approach that uses systematic instruction to help autistic children build communication, social, daily living, and learning skills — working at each child's own pace, in the settings that matter most to your family.
Every skill is broken into manageable steps, taught with encouragement, and measured so progress is always visible. The goal is a child who is more independent, more connected, and more confident.
Deep dive: What is ABA therapy? A complete guide for parents
Evidence-based since the 1960s, now the standard of care for autism therapy under Medicaid
ABA is reviewed and endorsed by major medical bodies including the American Psychological Association and the US Surgeon General. Minnesota EIDBI funding specifically covers ABA as one of its core intervention models.
We work with children ages 2 to 10 who have a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). We also support children with related developmental conditions when referred by a qualified provider.
Our approach is strengths-based and autism-affirming. We build on what your child can already do, and we work alongside your family, not around it. Every therapy plan (called an ITP, or Individual Treatment Plan) is built specifically for your child.
For many Twin Cities families, the path to therapy starts with a CMDE (Comprehensive Multidisciplinary Evaluation) to qualify for EIDBI funding. We can walk you through that process even if you're just starting out.
Every plan is built by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and delivered in the setting that works best for your child.
Minnesota's EIDBI (Early Intensive Developmental & Behavioral Intervention) benefit funds intensive, individualized therapy for qualifying children with autism. We are a licensed EIDBI provider that accepts Medical Assistance for this program — something many metro providers do not.

Your child's Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) designs the therapy plan, trains the team, and reviews progress data every week. Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) deliver daily sessions under that direct BCBA supervision.
Intensive ABA therapy is typically 20–40 hours per week. That intensity is what drives meaningful progress — but the exact schedule is set by your child's Individual Treatment Plan (ITP) and the hours your EIDBI benefit covers.

BCBA-designed plan
Every Individual Treatment Plan (ITP) is authored and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
20–40 hours per week
Typical intensive schedule. Your child's ITP determines exact hours based on their needs and EIDBI authorization.
At our Brooklyn Park clinic
Every session takes place in our dedicated therapy spaces — a structured, consistent environment designed for focused learning.
Progress measured and updated
BCBAs review data regularly and adjust the plan as your child grows. Therapy follows the child, not a fixed script.
Every family served through EIDBI is enrolled in Minnesota Medical Assistance. We accept Straight MA (fee-for-service through the state), HealthPartners PMAP, Blue Cross Blue Shield PMAP, and MA TEFRA — all forms of MN Medicaid that cover EIDBI services for qualifying children. Our intake team will verify your child's eligibility before your first session.
This is one of the reasons families choose Neurolink Academy: many ABA providers in the Twin Cities do not accept Medical Assistance. We do, because access to therapy should not depend on which plan your family is on.
Our team will confirm your child's eligibility, walk you through what EIDBI covers, and help with any steps needed before your first session.
