Built for Lynden families

We started this centre because Whatcom County families with a newly diagnosed child were being told to expect a five-month wait — or a long drive south.

Lynden Autism and Therapy Centre is a dedicated ABA therapy centre serving children ages 2 through 10 and their families in Lynden, Blaine, Everson, and the surrounding communities of northern Whatcom County.

Our team works alongside your child's pediatrician, school district, and diagnosing provider so that therapy plans are coordinated, not siloed. We believe progress happens fastest when the people around a child are on the same page.

Individualized care

Every treatment plan is built around your child's specific goals, developed with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Family involvement

Parent training is built into every program, so skills carry over from our centre into daily life at home.

Local and accessible

No more commuting to Bellingham or Seattle for consistent, high-quality therapy.

Our services

A full range of therapies designed to work together, under one roof.

ABA Therapy

One-on-one applied behavior analysis to build communication, social, and daily living skills, guided by a BCBA.

Speech Therapy

Individual and small-group sessions to support expressive and receptive language development.

Occupational Therapy

Support for fine motor skills, sensory processing, and the routines of everyday life.

Parent Training

Hands-on coaching so families can reinforce strategies at home, not just during sessions.

Social Skills Groups

Structured peer groups that build friendship, turn-taking, and communication skills together.

A thorough intake process that connects you with a Center of Excellence provider if you don't yet have a diagnosis.
