ABA Therapy Serving Milan, Michigan
For Milan families, getting to ABA therapy is mostly one straight road. Creating Brighter Futures provides individualized ABA for children and teens ages 2 to 18 with autism and other developmental disabilities at our center in south Ann Arbor, and we welcome families from Milan and the surrounding townships.
How Far Is Creating Brighter Futures From Milan?
From the center of Milan, our center at 4201 Varsity Drive is about 12 miles away, roughly 19 minutes without traffic. Leave town on East Main Street, follow Platt Road north for nearly 10 miles, then head west on Ellsworth Road to Varsity Drive. Your map app may suggest US-23 instead depending on traffic.
Because ABA sessions often last 2 to 5 hours, several days a week, we'll help you build a schedule that limits extra trips, such as longer sessions on fewer days when that fits your child's plan.
Milan Area Schools and Your Child's IEP
Milan children attend Milan Area Schools. At Milan High School, each student with an IEP is case-managed by a teacher consultant, and an assistive technology coordinator is on staff. For children under 3, Washtenaw ISD's Early On program offers a free evaluation.
ABA and school services work best when they support each other. We help parents prepare for IEP meetings, share progress, and coordinate with other providers on your child's team.
Schools in Milan
Milan Area Schools is a small district with four buildings, which makes it easier for families and our team to get to know a child’s school staff:
Elementary schools
Middle and high school
Milan Area Schools students with significant disabilities can also be referred to High Point School, run by Washtenaw ISD in Ann Arbor.
Programs for Milan Kids and Teens
Children ages 2 to 8 often start in our Early Intervention Program, focused on communication, play, toilet training, and school readiness. Ages 8 to 18 join the Junior & Adolescent Program, where they practice daily living and pre-vocational skills. Teens who want to build friendships can join our PEERS social skills groups.
Around Milan
Wilson Park hosts community favorites such as the Milan Fair and the Milan Farm & Flea Market, and the Milan Area Chamber of Commerce keeps an events list. Familiar local outings like these are a chance to practice skills your child works on in therapy, such as waiting in line or handling a busy, noisy place for a short time.
