Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education​ Opens In Fairfield

FAIRFIELD, CT — Cultivate Behavioral Health & Education has opened a new Applied Behavior Analysis therapy center in Fairfield, its sixth location in the state.

The new clinic, at 501 Kings Highway East, Suite 110, is intended to increase access to autism-related services in Fairfield County and nearby communities.

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, is an evidence-based therapy commonly recommended for children with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder. The approach focuses on developing communication, social, daily living and behavioral skills through structured teaching, positive reinforcement and data-driven decision-making.

According to the organization, treatment plans at the Fairfield center will be individualized based on each child’s strengths and needs. The model emphasizes collaboration with families and coordination with medical and educational providers to support skill development across home, school and community settings.

Research has shown that early and consistent behavioral intervention can improve developmental outcomes for some children with autism. Cultivate said its programs are designed to promote skill generalization and long-term independence.

The Fairfield facility includes dedicated therapy rooms, open learning spaces and flexible treatment areas intended to support structured and individualized care. The organization said the space was designed with safety and predictability in mind.

The new site joins existing Cultivate clinics in Hamden and New London, as well as in-home ABA services provided throughout Fairfield County and Stamford.

Heather Gagliardo, clinical manager of the Fairfield location, said the center aims to meet growing demand for services in the area.

"I’m excited for the opportunity to provide high-quality ABA services to those in need around the Farfield area," Gagliardo said. "As someone who has seen the incredible impact of ABA therapy on the futures of our kids, I can’t wait to see the positive changes this center will bring to so many lives!"

Added Mike Foulk, the company’s chief operating officer, "The opening of our new center in Fairfield is a testament to our commitment to expanding access to quality ABA therapy services. We’ve seen the incredible difference our services can make, and this new location allows us to reach even more families in need. We are dedicated to meeting the growing demand with the same level of care and excellence that Cultivate is known for."

The organization said families interested in services at the Fairfield center can visit its website or contact the company directly at 855-444-5664 for more information.
