The Light ABA

The Light ABA provides compassionate, evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis services for young children with autism in West Fork, Arkansas, and surrounding Northwest Arkansas communities. Founded by Melanie Kyle and Melissa Waterson, the practice draws on their experience as educators in general and special education and as Board Certified Behavior Analysts. The team aims to partner with families and help children build skills through personalized care that recognizes each milestone.

Services include early intervention for children from birth to age five, behavioral assessments to inform individualized treatment plans, school support coordinated with educators, and parent training to help families support progress at home. The Light ABA focuses on foundational skills during early development and on promoting consistent learning across settings.

Families interested in beginning services are asked to provide documentation of an autism diagnosis, a well-child visit within the past year, a speech evaluation noting autism, and insurance information. They can contact the practice to discuss service availability and next steps.
