Supporting Central Connecticut Families for 20+ Years

Since opening our doors in 2004, Talcott Center has proudly provided exceptional care for autistic children and those with special needs. Our expert team delivers occupational, physical, speech therapies, and applied behavior analysis (ABA)—all tailored to your child’s unique strengths and goals.

We also offer a Comprehensive Autism Day Program designed to enrich your child’s skills and confidence in an inclusive, supportive environment year-round.

What Makes Talcott Different?

At Talcott, your family’s journey begins with genuine connection. From your very first conversation, our administrative team takes the time to understand your child—their joys, challenges, and your hopes for their future.

During your initial visit, we’ll carefully review your child’s developmental history, previous treatments, and your family’s priorities. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan, pairing your child with the best therapists to meet their specific needs.

Here’s what you can expect when partnering with Talcott

  • Warm, supportive discussions about your child’s progress and potential.
  • Clear communication with a dedicated care coordinator to simplify scheduling and answer your questions.
  • Collaborative goal-setting that keeps your family’s priorities at the forefront.

At Talcott, you’re never alone – our entire team is committed to supporting you and your child every step of the way.
