Guests included members of the Charles County Chamber of Commerce, Arthur Ellis, Charles County State Senate Representative, Yonelle More Lee, Chairperson of the Charles County Board of Education, representatives from Charles County Parks and Recreation, and Chanel Smith, Kidz Kab Express Founder and CEO.
Ribbon-cutting attendees had an opportunity to tour the facility and meet SPARKS ABA’s leadership team, Angela Chang, MA, BCBA, LBA, Managing Behavior Analyst, Kayla Bagnato, MEd, BCBA, LBA, Regional Clinical Director, and Geneviève Marshall, PhD, BCBA-D, LBA, Senior Regional Director.
“We are thrilled to open our doors and bring compassionate, contemporary ABA therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) to families in Waldorf and the surrounding areas,” said Kayla Bagnato. “Through highly personalized support, we aim to empower each child and young adult to gain independence to succeed in school and life and reach their highest potential.”
The new Waldorf Learning Center offers a modern environment for children to receive contemporary ABA therapy, parent education, and center-based services. The center also features an innovative Launchpad Learning Program, which focuses on children with autism ages 2 to 6 who are ready to transition from a one-on-one learning environment to a group setting to help prepare them for school. With Launchpad, half the day involves group activities with a 3:1 staff-child ratio, developing team skills and independence, and the other half of the day focuses on individual instruction, addressing personal growth areas.
With no waitlist and flexible treatment hours that include after-school evening hours to accommodate busy family schedules, the center is now enrolling new clients in the Charles County area and beyond.
SPARKS ABA, part of LEARN Behavioral, a national leader in compassionate autism treatment, has been a leading provider of evidence-based autism services for 15 years. SPARKS ABA is dedicated to personalized, high-quality ABA therapy.
