Brilliant Minds ABA, Inc. is owned and clinically supervised by Shirley Krieger, MA, BCBA, LBA. “ABA” stands for applied behavioral analysis, an evidence-based treatment for all kids and adults with autism.  Brilliant Minds specializes in early intervention.  Young brains are more malleable brains, and early diagnosis and treatment can help young brains grow and expand to their highest level of function.

Why does Shirley do this work? She puts it very simply: “because I love it.“ Meeting an autistic kid while in grad school piqued her interest, and after her work in neuropsychology north of Atlanta, she founded Brilliant Minds ABA, Inc. in 2022.

Brilliant Minds ABA is accepting new patients. They file with TRICARE, and soon will be filing with Medicaid and other private insurance.

When not at work, Shirley loves to ski. So far, her greatest skiing experiences have been in Utah; but she dreams of skiing outside the USA.  Skiing is her way of seeking joy and exploring her own limits, even as her professional devotion is to helping youngsters expand their own potential.

Brilliant Minds ABA is located in the Williamsburg Office Park at 1309 Jamestown Road, Ste. 104.  They can be reached at 757.849.8170;  or e-mail [email protected].
