InBloom Autism Services Expands in Connecticut

InBloom Autism Services, a leader in early intervention for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), has proudly announced the opening of three new Learning Centers in Connecticut. These facilities, located in Trumbull, Norwich, and Rocky Hill, cater specifically to children aged 18 months to 5 years. This expansion reflects InBloom's commitment to providing high-quality Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy to support young children and their families.

Growing Demand for Services

Since its establishment in 2015, InBloom has served numerous families across Connecticut, having previously opened five facilities throughout the state. The decision to create additional Learning Centers was driven by the increasing need for accessible and effective autism therapy. "Today, 1 in 31 children are diagnosed with autism," said Tim Bohman, CEO of InBloom. "Increased awareness of autism and better access to diagnostic services have fueled this rise, reinforcing our mission to expand our support."

Families in areas such as Fairfield, New London, and Hartford County will now have access to comprehensive ABA therapy designed to help their children thrive.

Features of the New Learning Centers

The newly established Learning Centers are thoughtfully designed to create a safe, sensory-friendly environment. Each center incorporates:

• - Large Playrooms: These spaces facilitate natural, play-based learning and allow for social interactions among children.
• - Individual Therapy Rooms: Dedicated areas for one-on-one sessions ensure personalized attention and effective learning experiences.
• - Indoor Gym: This facility includes sensory-friendly activities aimed at enhancing body awareness and physical coordination.

Abigail Dunn, Senior Vice President of Clinical and Operations at InBloom, shared her enthusiasm for the expansion: "Since we opened our first Connecticut location in 2020, the positive impact on the community has been remarkable. We recognize that many families may struggle to find adequate support through traditional in-home services or daycare programs. Our new centers provide an essential alternative, allowing us to deliver full-day ABA therapy programs tailored to each child's needs."

Approach to Therapy

At InBloom, therapy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. The approach includes:

• - Customized Treatment Plans: Each child receives a plan designed by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), which is regularly updated to ensure optimal progress.
• - Play-Based Learning: Activities are designed to be engaging and fun, promoting the acquisition of skills in a naturalistic setting that translates to everyday life.
• - Collaborative Efforts: Families are key partners in the therapeutic process. Regular updates and guidance from certified ABA professionals help support success at home.

The Trumbull and Norwich Learning Centers are currently open, with specific locations being:

• - Trumbull: 101 Merritt Blvd., Suite 25
• - Norwich: 164 Otrobando Ave, Suite B

The Rocky Hill Learning Center, located at 845 Brook Street, Unit 102, is set to open shortly. InBloom Autism Services accepts many major insurance plans, making it easier for families to access necessary support.

Conclusion

InBloom Autism Services is dedicated to shaping nurturing environments where children with autism can flourish. By expanding access to specialized ABA therapy, InBloom signifies its commitment to ensuring every child has the opportunity to blossom and reach their full potential. With facilities now in Trumbull, Norwich, and soon in Rocky Hill, the organization continues to play a vital role in supporting families in Connecticut's autism community.
