What is Meraki?
ABA Beyond Four Walls
At Meraki, therapy doesn’t stop at the clinic door. We believe meaningful progress happens in the environments where life actually unfolds. Our ABA services extend into the community throughout downtown Plymouth, where clients practice real-world skills in real time—grocery shopping at Westborn Market, ordering lunch in Kellogg Park, exploring local parks, navigating the Plymouth District Library, or safely ordering ice cream at a neighborhood shop. These experiences are intentionally designed to build independence, safety awareness, communication, and functional life skills in the settings where they are truly needed.
We also believe support should never be limited by age. Growth, learning, and meaningful change do not stop at a certain birthday—and neither do we. Meraki does not impose an age limit or “age out” clients from services. We provide individualized, developmentally appropriate ABA across the lifespan, meeting each person where they are and supporting their journey forward with dignity, respect, and purpose.
