ABA Therapy Serving Belleville, Michigan

5

Belleville and the surrounding Van Buren Township area are a straight shot down I-94 from our Ann Arbor center. Creating Brighter Futures offers center-based ABA therapy for children and teens ages 2 to 18 with autism and other developmental disabilities, and Belleville families are welcome at every stage.

How Far Is Creating Brighter Futures From Belleville?

Our center at 4201 Varsity Drive in Ann Arbor is about 17 miles from the center of Belleville, roughly 23 minutes without traffic. Most of the drive is I-94 west: take Belleville Road to the freeway, exit at State Street, and turn onto Ellsworth Road to reach Varsity Drive.

Because I-94 traffic changes through the day, we'll talk with you about drop-off and pickup times that avoid the busiest stretches. Our hours are Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., and most sessions run 2 to 5 hours.

Van Buren Public Schools and Wayne County Early On

Belleville children attend Van Buren Public Schools, part of Wayne County, so early intervention runs through Wayne RESA rather than Washtenaw County. Early On through Wayne RESA serves infants and toddlers from birth to age 3 with developmental delays, and families can make a referral online or by calling its hotline.

When your child has an IEP, ABA and school services can support each other. We help parents understand goals, prepare for meetings, and keep teachers and therapists working in the same direction.
