ABA Therapy Near Happy Valley, Oregon

Quality ABA Therapy Within Reach of Happy Valley

Happy Valley families looking for ABA therapy want the same thing families everywhere want — a provider who sees their child as a whole person, not just a diagnosis. A team that takes the time to understand what makes their child tick, what holds them back, and what will genuinely move the needle in their daily life.

That’s exactly what Climb was built to offer.

Our clinic serves families from Happy Valley and throughout Clackamas County, providing Applied Behavior Analysis therapy rooted in verbal behavior principles, delivered with an ethical approach that puts your child’s wellbeing at the center of every decision.

Families from the Sunnyside area, Damascus, and Clackamas make the drive because they’ve found something at Climb worth the commute — a team that knows their child by name and takes their progress personally.

What Sets Climb Apart for Happy Valley Families

Assent-based care —

Your child has a voice We pay close attention to how children respond during every session. If a child is showing signs of distress, disengagement, or resistance, we take that seriously. We adjust our approach, our pacing, and our programming. This is what assent-based ABA looks like in practice — and it’s the foundation of how we work with every client.

Trauma-informed practice

Some children who come to us have had difficult early experiences — medical trauma, previous environments that didn’t feel safe, or adverse experiences that show up in how they engage with therapy. Our team is trained to recognize these signs and to create an environment where safety comes first, every time.

Verbal behavior at the core

Everything we do starts with communication. Our verbal behavior framework prioritizes building functional language — teaching children not just to respond to instructions, but to initiate, request, express, and connect. Communication is never an afterthought at Climb. It’s the thread running through every treatment plan we write.

Real partnership with your family

Parents and caregivers are essential partners in their child’s progress — not just observers. We explain what we’re doing and why. We share data in ways that are understandable, not just in spreadsheets. And when something isn’t working, we say so and we adjust.
