About Us


The Missing Piece is a non-profit ABA clinic formed in 2013. We are located in Sulphur, Louisiana and provide ABA services to families and individuals with autism spectrum disorder, PDD-NOS, and related disorders. With an emphasis on high quality, effective, and individualized ABA services, The Missing Piece teaches specific skills and behaviors that are significant to both family and individual.

Our Approach to Delivering ABA Service

  • We treat behavior directly rather than trying to change an ‘emotional state’.
  • We pinpoint specific behaviors to address, implement specific treatment plans, take specific data, and make specific modifications.
  • We focus on behavior that is desired to occur, rather than behavior that is not desired.
  • We coach parents, teachers, and staff to give instructions in a positive, educative, and specific manner.
  • We break down general categories of skills and teach specific behaviors that make up those general categories.
  • We individualize strategies used to change behavior. This includes parent and staff training as well as our specific client treatment plans!
  • We follow an empirical, scientific approach with principles and procedures established in rigorous basic research.
