Locations

At Autism from the Start®, we believe the environment in which we learn is just as important as the clinical therapy we provide. Research supports the benefits of having a purposeful, natural and cozy space for all— children and adults.

Our Environment Matters

“Children’s Houses”… A Place to Call Home
We invest in creating intentionally-designed spaces that are warm and welcoming. We call our buildings “Children’s Houses” (a term borrowed from Montessori schools) because this is the domain of Children. We want our children to play and learn in a safe space they love.

2 Children’s Houses, 1 Family
We now have two Children’s Houses – Lenexa (the original location) and Shawnee (our newest location). We are proud to open our Shawnee house because wait lists for services can be months long, and we know that time is valuable. Two locations means that we’re able to serve twice as many families in our community.

At both locations, you’ll enjoy:

An inviting space designed to help children feel welcome

1. Large, open areas filled with natural light

2. Home-inspired design (living rooms, kitchens, patios, backyard playgrounds etc.)

3. Outdoor classroom and open spaces for social play activities

4. Sensory play experiences, such as water tables and mud kitchens

5. Easy-to-access location right off the highway

6. Highly-trained staff members (we call them family!) who genuinely care about your child 

7. Thoughtful outdoor play spaces with native Kansas landscaping to provide natural sensory experiences
