ABA Therapy in Brooklyn Center, MN

Looking for ABA therapy in Brooklyn Center, MN? You are one suburb away from it. Neurolink Academy's clinic sits in neighboring Brooklyn Park, about 10 to 12 minutes from most Brooklyn Center homes in the 55429 and 55430 ZIP codes. We are a BCBA-led provider of applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children ages 2 to 10, and a Minnesota EIDBI provider. EIDBI stands for Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention, the state benefit that funds intensive autism therapy through Medical Assistance.

A short drive that keeps therapy sustainable

Intensive ABA therapy usually means 20 to 40 hours per week, set by your child's Individual Treatment Plan (ITP). That schedule only works when getting there is easy. For Brooklyn Center families it is: whether you live near Centennial Park, in the neighborhoods off Brooklyn Boulevard, or closer to the river along Highway 252, you are a first-ring trip away. Therapy this close to home means fewer missed sessions, and consistency is one of the biggest drivers of progress in center-based ABA therapy.

Getting here from Brooklyn Center

Two routes cover almost everyone:

• From central and west Brooklyn Center: take Brooklyn Boulevard (County Road 152) northwest, then continue to Boone Avenue N in Brooklyn Park. The clinic is at 7100 Northland Circle N, Suite 201, in the business park just east of Highway 169.
• From east Brooklyn Center: near Shingle Creek Crossing or Highway 100, take Highway 100 or I-94/694 west toward the 169 corridor, then exit for the Boone Avenue area.

Either way, you are looking at roughly 10 to 12 minutes door to door. Families covered by Medical Assistance who cannot drive may also qualify for non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT), a ride benefit for covered medical appointments. Ask our intake team about ride options before you rule anything out.

Built for Brooklyn Center's families

Brooklyn Center is one of Minnesota's most diverse cities, and the children in Brooklyn Center Community Schools and the surrounding districts speak many languages at home. Our approach is built for that reality. Therapy goals come from your family's priorities, not a template, and we take time at intake to understand how your household actually works: who does drop-off, what your child loves, what daily routines feel hardest right now.

Just as important: we welcome the coverage Brooklyn Center families actually have. Every child receiving EIDBI services is on Medical Assistance, and we accept Straight MA, HealthPartners PMAP, Blue Cross Blue Shield PMAP (Blue Plus), and MA TEFRA. Several large ABA providers in the metro do not take Minnesota Medicaid at all. We do, and for most EIDBI families that means therapy costs nothing out of pocket. You can read exactly how funding works on our insurance and EIDBI coverage page.

If your child does not have an autism diagnosis yet, that is not a roadblock. Minnesota requires an evaluation called the CMDE (Comprehensive Multi-Disciplinary Evaluation) before EIDBI services start, and our team explains that pathway in plain language and helps you take the next step. The simplest way to begin is to start intake; it takes about five minutes, and we verify your coverage for you.
