ABA Therapy in Vancouver, WA, From the BCBAs Who Live Here
Clinic, home, school, and community-based ABA therapy and autism evaluations for Clark County families, locally owned, clinically led, and built around your child.
If you’re searching for ABA therapy in Vancouver, WA, you’ve probably discovered the local reality: most behavioral health for Clark County families is headquartered across the river, and Washington-side options fill fast. Strides was founded here to change that, a clinic in East Vancouver, clinicians who work in Vancouver schools and homes every week, and a team that knows the systems Washington families actually navigate: Apple Health managed-care plans, the DDA waiver world, and ESIT early intervention.
The clinic sits at 204 SE Stonemill Drive, just off Mill Plain in East Vancouver, about ten minutes from Camas, fifteen from Salmon Creek, and straightforward from anywhere on the I-205 corridor. For families who can’t come to us, we come to you: home-based, school-based, and community-based services run across Vancouver, Camas, Washougal, Battle Ground, and Ridgefield.
And because Strides is owned by practicing Board Certified Behavior Analysts, not a private-equity chain, clinical decisions happen here, by the people who see your child.
