Drowning in appointments, evaluations, and conflicting advice.
Daily meltdowns, communication struggles, and isolation.
Waitlists everywhere, your child can’t wait 6-12 months for help.
We understand. And we’re here to walk alongside you.
We help children build communication, social skills, and independence through play-based ABA therapy, delivered by clinicians who truly know your child.
Full-day care that replaces daycare for ages 2 – 6.
Our center-based ABA program offers up to 40 hours per week in a warm, play-based environment, not a clinical setting.
Children learn through play, routines, and peer interaction, with programs designed by BCBAs and one-on-one support from Behavior Technicians.
Highlights:
Support without disrupting your child’s day.
We provide ABA therapy directly in your child’s daycare or preschool so they can stay with peers while receiving individualized support.
Therapists help children follow routines, participate in groups, communicate with teachers, and build social skills, right where those skills matter most.
Benefits:
We focus on skills that help your child succeed in everyday life.
Communication & Social Skills:
Daily Living & Independence:
Emotional & Safety Skills:
Every program is individualized around your child and family.
You’re part of the team, and we make it manageable.
What we ask:
What we don’t expect:
We adapt therapy to fit real families.
Still not sure which option is right for your child?
The short answer: Yes, almost always. ABA therapy is covered under most Wisconsin insurance plans, including Medicaid (BadgerCare).
At Ignite Child Development Services, we believe every child deserves access to high-quality ABA therapy. We accept a wide range of insurance plans and work directly with providers to verify benefits and minimize out-of-pocket costs. Our team handles the paperwork so you can focus on what matters most, your child’s progress.
Here’s what a typical full day looks like for your child at our Eau Claire center.
Morning Drop-Off (8:30 AM)
You’re greeted by name. Your child’s therapist is ready with a favorite toy, and your child actually wants to be here.
Morning Session (9:00 – 12:00)
Learning happens through play. Building blocks, taking turns, asking for help, and fewer meltdowns because your child now has better ways to communicate.
Lunch & Social Time (12:00 – 1:00)
Snack time becomes social time. Your child practices requesting food, sitting with peers, and communicating with support from therapists.
Afternoon Play-Based Learning (1:00 – 4:00)
Therapy follows your child’s interests, outside play, art, games, or movement, while building motor skills, patience, and independence.
BCBA Support Throughout the Day
Your child’s BCBA observes, adjusts programs, and tracks progress so you see real, measurable growth.
Pick-Up
(4:30 PM)
You receive a quick win from the day and detailed session notes, plus guidance you can use at home during real routines.
You'll talk to a real human (not a voicemail) within 24 hours. We'll ask about your child, answer your questions, and verify your insurance benefits.
Our BCBA observes your child at play and sits down with you to understand your concerns, using this assessment to create a fully personalized care plan.
While you wait for insurance authorization (typically 2-6 weeks), we're doing all the heavy lifting, submitting paperwork, following up with your insurance company, keeping you updated.
We match your child with their team and start immediately. You receive regular updates, parent training, and direct BCBA access. No waitlists. No confusion. Just clear steps forward.
Families choose Ignite for our compassionate, family-centered care and evidence-based practices, dedicated to helping every child thrive.
