Welcome to the Kansas City Community

At Shining Steps ABA, our mission has always been to empower neurodiverse individuals and their families to reach their fullest potential through compassionate, individualized support. Today, we’re proud to extend that mission to the Kansas City region, offering families new access to high-quality applied behaviour analysis (ABA) services in-home, at school, and within the community.

If you live in Kansas City or nearby and have been searching for ABA therapy, you’ve come to the right place. We’re excited to now walk alongside you and your family on this journey.

What This Means for Your Family

Expanding into Kansas City means several important things for kids and families:

• Local access to expert ABA therapy

Our team brings experience, sensitivity, and flexibility to your door. From the comforts of home to school-based sessions and community outings, we’re able to tailor our programming to your child’s needs and family’s routine.

• A partner in your child’s journey

We believe in teaming up with you, the parents, caregivers, educators, to craft goals and celebrate each “shining step.” As we say on our About Us page: “one step at a time”.

• Greater inclusion, stronger outcomes

Being able to access services locally means less burden on your family. It leaves more opportunity for consistency, one of the keys in ABA for helping children generalize skills across settings. You’re no longer limited by travel or scheduling hurdles; we come to you.

• Community-aware support

Our team understands the Kansas City community and schools, and we’ll work to integrate your child’s goals with their everyday life in KC.

1. Reach out to us — Use the form on our Kansas City location page or call the number listed.
2. Insurance & eligibility check — We’ll verify support with most insurances and guide you through what is needed.
3. Assessment & planning — A qualified BCBA will evaluate your child’s strengths, needs and goals, and we’ll collaborate with you to craft a personalized plan.
4. Therapy begins — Whether it’s in-home, in-school or community-based, we’ll start implementing supports and tracking progress.

Why This Expansion Matters

In the U.S., diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder is rising and families are facing increased need for accessible, local services. By coming to Kansas City, we’re making the path to support shorter, local and more family-friendly.

Families in this region deserve high-quality, compassionate ABA therapy that meets them where they live, learn and play. That’s exactly what we’re committed to delivering.
