Meeting Family Needs

Finding the right therapies and medical support for a neurodiverse child can be overwhelming. Families often struggle to coordinate various treatments across multiple locations.

Abby’s Learning Center was created to simplify this process, bringing all essential therapies and medical services under one roof for convenience, ease, and comprehensive care.

The Journey Behind Abby’s Learning Center

Tehila Spigel is the creative force and heart behind Abby’s Learning Center. A devoted wife and mother of five, her journey began when her daughter, Abigail, was diagnosed with autism at the age of three.

That single word - autism - brought confusion, misunderstandings, and an urgent need to find the right path forward. It meant countless medical appointments and an endless search for answers.

Like many parents, Tehila turned to research, reading everything she could about autism. But in those early days, much of what she found was discouraging.

Though the support of friends and neighbors led her to incredible therapists, Tehila felt there had to be more. She refused to see her daughter through the narrow lens of traditional programs. Determined to create a space where Abigail and children like her could thrive, she built Abby’s Learning Center.

A Women-Led Approach to Holistic Care

The center is led by Dr. Jessica Franco, Ph.D., CCC-SLP, BCBA, who brings cutting-edge approaches to ABA therapies and treatments for children.

Abby’s Learning Center is also honored to collaborate with Dr. Sheri Ravenscroft, a Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician. Together, they craft individualized plans and goals tailored to each child’s unique needs, ensuring a holistic and personalized approach to care.

A Dynamic Facility with Innovative Therapies

A visit to Abby’s Learning Center is an experience like no other. Children laugh and play, bouncing on indoor trampolines, swinging, and sliding in an environment designed for both fun and therapeutic growth.

The center features a state-of-the-art video projector offering over 1,500 interactive games, captivating students while supporting their development.

The library, filled with books, also houses a stunning 250-gallon saltwater aquarium - an enchanting space that inspires learning and curiosity. Here, children engage with one another under the guidance of one-on-one therapists, fostering both social and developmental progress.
