ABA Therapy in Plymouth, Minnesota
Highway 55 runs from the middle of Plymouth straight to our center's doorstep in Golden Valley — about fifteen minutes — and our in-home team covers every Plymouth neighborhood, Wayzata district and Robbinsdale district alike. Your child's ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) program runs in one of those two settings, and the choice is yours.
Plymouth families comparing providers usually ask us two things first, so here they are: we serve ages 2–12 — school-age children through 12 included — and we accept Medical Assistance (Straight MA and Blue Plus), which most eligible families use to pay nothing out of pocket.

Not every ABA provider in Minnesota accepts Medical Assistance. We do.
Ability Avenues accepts Straight MA and Blue Plus, and we're enrolled in EIDBI (Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention) — the Minnesota benefit that funds autism therapy for eligible children. Most families we serve pay $0 out of pocket.
Center-based or in-home in Plymouth?
Plymouth is one of the easiest drives on our map relative to its size: Highway 55 is a straight shot east, no downtown, no river crossing. That makes the center a true everyday option, not a special trip.
It also makes the choice interesting, because in-home is just as available. Families in Plymouth's newer developments often choose in-home for younger children — naps, siblings, routines — then some later move to the center as school age approaches. Others start at the center on day one for the structure.
What never happens is both at once. One setting carries the whole program; if it should change, you and your BCBA change it together, completely. And nothing about your address — Medicine Lake or the far side of Vicksburg Lane — tips the scale either way.
One child, one setting: your child's program runs in the one you choose — and if it stops fitting, you and your BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) can switch, never split.
Getting to our center from Plymouth
From central Plymouth, take Highway 55 east about fifteen minutes to Highway 100 north; the Duluth Street exit puts you on Lilac Drive North, our frontage road. From northern Plymouth, Rockford Road east to Highway 169 south works to the same interchange.
The 55 corridor moves against rush-hour traffic on the way to us in the morning, so 8:00 and 9:00 sessions are dependable — worth knowing if you're planning therapy around a Wayzata-district school schedule.

Do you serve all of Plymouth?
Yes — Plymouth is fully inside both halves of our service. In-home therapists work everywhere from the Medicine Lake neighborhoods to the developments west of Vicksburg Lane and up to the Maple Grove border.
Plymouth splits between two school districts, and we work with families on both sides of that line. Which district your child attends changes who we coordinate with — never which setting, program, or coverage you can have.
Ability Avenues supports Plymouth families in Wayzata Public Schools (District 284) and Robbinsdale Area Schools (District 281), and can coordinate with your child's IEP (Individualized Education Program) team in either district.
Plymouth questions, answered
The things Plymouth families ask us most — coverage, the drive, and how starting actually works.
How long does it take to reach your center from Plymouth?
Around fifteen minutes for most of the city: Highway 55 east to Highway 100 north, off at Duluth Street. It's a straight, counter-commute drive — several Plymouth families treat morning sessions as part of the workday run.
Do you provide in-home ABA throughout Plymouth?
Everywhere in Plymouth — Medicine Lake to the Vicksburg Lane developments, Wayzata district or Robbinsdale district. In-home is the identical program with the identical BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) oversight; only the address changes.
Can my child attend the center part-time and do home sessions too?
No — we run each child's program in a single setting so the teaching stays consistent. You choose center or home during intake, and if that choice stops fitting your family, we move the whole program to the other setting.
Does your Plymouth coverage include Medical Assistance?
Yes. We accept Straight MA and Blue Plus, and Minnesota's EIDBI (Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention) benefit typically covers intensive therapy in full for eligible children. If your family has commercial insurance instead, say so on the call and we'll be straight with you about what we can and can't bill.
My child is 9. Are they too old to start?
Not with us — we serve ages 2 through 12, and school-age programs are built differently than toddler ones: more daily-living skills, more social goals, more school coordination with your Wayzata or Robbinsdale IEP team.
