Wisconsin Early Autism Project provides early intensive behavioral intervention for young children with autism. It delivers one-on-one therapy, often in the child’s home, to kids 18 months to school age, using a research-backed curriculum and positive reinforcement to teach skills. The program targets basic learning areas first—attention, listening, play, imitation, and early communication—and gradually adds more skills as children progress. The approach centers on building strong relationships with the child and tailoring sessions to each child’s strengths to keep learning engaging. What sets WEAP apart is its large network of locations across Wisconsin and beyond, its home-based delivery model, and its use of a proven curriculum to drive measurable progress rather than generic instruction. The goal is to help children with autism learn new skills quickly enough to catch up with peers and gain greater independence.

New Greenfield Learning Center expands Early Autism services for families.

New Greenfield Learning Center expands Early Autism services for families. Sep 4, 2026, 12:00 PM CT Receiving a new autism diagnosis for a child can be overwhelming and confusing, leaving many parents unsure where to turn for help and support. Wisconsin Early Autism Project (WEAP) and Total Spectrum, providers of LEARN Behavioral, are proud to announce the grand opening of their new Greenfield Learning Center at 4131 W Loomis Rd., Suite 100, Greenfield, WI 53221. The new Greenfield Learning Center provides center-based ABA therapy and Early Intervention. Outside of the center, the Greenfield team provides ABA therapy in the home and community settings. WEAP and Total Spectrum are Greenfield's premiere contemporary applied behavior analysis (ABA) providers of center-based autism services for children ages 18 months to 4 years old. ABA is an individualized therapy approach focused on building essential skills. Each client begins with an assessment to identify their strengths, determine an appropriate starting point, and understand the priorities and goals of their parents. "We work on a variety of skills with them across a few different domains, like we might work on communication skills and individualize that based on what's best for the client. We work on early learning skills, attention skills, and social and play skills like turn-taking and sharing with peers. We work on toilet training readiness skills, eating skills, utensils, those kinds of skills," said director Linda Klotz. The center offers a pairing room where new clients build relationships with their technicians before transitioning to group settings focused on more advanced skills. A gym area supports gross motor development through activities such as using the slide, practicing throwing balls through a basketball hoop, and riding a teeter-totter. The center also provides spaces for imaginative play, including themed activities such as camping, as well as a kitchen area. An outdoor play space is also in development. The initial assessment is conducted with both the child and parent. Parents meet with the care team at least once a month, and often more frequently, to review progress, discuss goals, and adjust the child's individualized plan. Services are funded through a variety of insurance options, including commercial insurance and ForwardHealth or Medicaid. Some clients have commercial insurance as their primary coverage, with Medicaid serving as secondary or backup coverage. When asked what she hopes will be different in a child's life after receiving services at Greenfield Learning Center, Klotz said, "We hope the child can improve their quality of life and to be able to communicate functionally so that in the future they can transition into school and be mainstreamed in a classroom with their peers and live the best life possible for them." There's currently no waitlist, and the center offers flexible treatment hours to accommodate busy family schedules.
