ABA Therapy in Richfield, Minnesota
Richfield to our Golden Valley center is a two-highway trip — Crosstown 62 west, Highway 100 north, about twenty minutes — and our in-home team covers every block of Richfield's tidy grid. ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) runs in one setting per child; choosing it is your job, and we help.

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 Richfield?
Richfield's compact grid makes in-home unusually efficient — short travel legs mean therapists arrive on time and sessions start when they're supposed to. For many families here, that reliability is the deciding vote.
The center is still a fair option: twenty minutes up Highway 100, purpose-built rooms, the team down the hall. Families who want therapy to feel like 'a place we go' choose it happily.
One child, one setting — that's firm. What's never firm is which one: you choose at intake, and you can switch the whole program later if your first pick stops serving your child.
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 Richfield
Take Crosstown 62 west to the Highway 100 north interchange, ride 100 up past I-394, and exit at Duluth Street — Lilac Drive North fronts the highway at our building. Around twenty minutes most of the day.
From eastern Richfield, I-35W north to downtown and I-394 west works too, though the Crosstown route usually wins on predictability.

Do you serve all of Richfield?
All of Richfield, yes — the grid from Penn to Cedar and 62nd to 78th is fully inside our in-home area, and every one of those addresses is welcome at the center too.
Richfield's density is a scheduling gift: we can often offer families here tighter session windows than anywhere else on the south side.
Ability Avenues supports families whose children attend Richfield Public Schools (District 280) and can coordinate with your child's IEP (Individualized Education Program) team.
Richfield questions, answered
The things Richfield families ask us most — coverage, the drive, and how starting actually works.
How long is the drive from Richfield to your center?
About twenty minutes: Crosstown 62 west to Highway 100 north, off at Duluth Street. It's counter-commute in the morning, which keeps early sessions realistic.
Is in-home available across all of Richfield?
Yes — the whole grid, Penn to Cedar. Richfield is one of our most efficient in-home cities, which shows up for you as reliable session times and consistent therapists.
Do we have to choose between home and the center permanently?
You choose one setting to start, and the program runs there — never in both at once. 'Permanently' isn't the word, though: if the fit changes, you and your BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) move the whole program to the other setting.
What will this cost us as a Richfield family?
Most families we serve pay nothing out of pocket: Minnesota's EIDBI (Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention) benefit covers intensive therapy for eligible children, and we accept Straight MA and Blue Plus. We check your coverage on the first call, free.
