Lighthouse Neurofeedback and Behavior Analysis is a company located in the heart of the foothills in Longmont, Colorado. Our company provides ABA services within our clinic, the community and client's homes.

• Regularly review and analyze client data/graphs

• Collaborate with other therapeutic team members to maximize client benefit from disparate or overlapping interventions.

• Conduct initial consults with families interested in finding out more about ABA or LH services.
