Ascend with ABA

Ascend with ABA is a behavioral therapy provider serving children and families in Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Portsmouth, Virginia. Founded by Sara Lamont, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, the organization uses Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to help children develop communication, social interaction, learning, and daily living skills while addressing challenging behaviors. Its Board Certified Behavior Analysts and trained behavior technicians create individualized programs based on each child’s assessment, strengths, and needs.

Services include center-based ABA therapy in a structured clinic setting, in-home therapy tailored to family routines, and early intervention for children with developmental delays, communication challenges, or behavioral concerns. Ascend with ABA also offers parent and caregiver training, with coaching available at home, at the center, or virtually. The organization describes its approach as compassionate, child-focused, and centered on measurable progress. Families can begin by completing an interest form, after which the team aims to make contact within one to three business days to discuss needs, services, insurance coverage, and next steps.
