Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a science-based approach to helping children build communication, play, daily living, and regulation skills. At Empowered ABA, sessions are play-centered and built on connection, never compliance-first.

Where is your office?

Our office is at 10828 Gravelly Lake Dr SW, Suite 102, Lakewood, WA 98499, minutes from Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM) and Tacoma.

Do you have a waitlist for ABA therapy?

No. We currently have openings and no waitlist. We evaluate each case individually and can tell you right away whether we can serve your family.

Do you accept TriWest for military families?

Yes. We are in network with TriWest, as well as Regence BlueShield, Premera Blue Cross, and First Choice Health. Aetna is out of network. We do not accept Medicaid (Apple Health) or Medicare.

What ages do you serve?

We provide insurance-funded ABA therapy for children ages 2 through 5 who live in Washington State.

Does my child need a diagnosis?

Yes. For insurance-covered ABA therapy, your child needs an existing autism spectrum disorder diagnosis (F84.0). If you don't have one yet, our parent resources and Parent Strategy Intensive can help in the meantime.
