ABA Therapy Serving Plymouth, Michigan

Plymouth families who want a smaller, locally owned ABA center sometimes make the drive west to Ann Arbor. Creating Brighter Futures provides individualized, center-based ABA therapy for children and teens ages 2 to 18 with autism and other developmental disabilities.

How Far Is Creating Brighter Futures From Plymouth?

From downtown Plymouth, our center at 4201 Varsity Drive is about 23 miles away, roughly 33 minutes without traffic. The usual route is North Territorial Road to M-14 west, US-23 south, then Washtenaw Avenue and Platt Road to Ellsworth Road.

That is one of the longer drives our families make, so we'll be upfront about it. At your tour, we'll talk about session length (usually 2 to 5 hours) and a schedule that works for your family, so you can decide whether the commute makes sense.

Plymouth-Canton Schools and Early On

Plymouth children attend Plymouth-Canton Community Schools, whose special education department serves about 2,300 students and runs autism spectrum disorder classrooms from early childhood through post-secondary. For children under 3, Early On through Wayne RESA handles evaluations and services.

ABA and school services can work hand in hand. We help families understand IEP goals and coordinate with the school team when it helps your child.

Around Plymouth

Kellogg Park is the heart of downtown, and the downtown Plymouth events list includes summer concerts in the park, Scarecrows in the Park each fall, the Walk of Trees in winter, and the Plymouth Ice Festival. Smaller, daytime events in the park can be an easier first step for kids who find crowds overwhelming.
