About FUNdamental Development LLC
“Play Is The Work Of The Child”
~Maria Montessori
FUNdamental Development ABA, LLC is an agency specializing in early intervention utilizing the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis. We bring the “fun” back to fundamental life skills. We focus on working with toddlers and preschoolers to maximize this precious window of learning when their brains have the most plasticity and give them the best chance for success later in life.
ABA Therapy is a research and evidenced based form of intervention proven to be effective in treating children with autism. Furthermore, research has shown that ABA provided in the early years of a child’s life improves outcomes in later years.
Our Mission at Fundamental Development ABA LLC
Our mission is to create programs focusing on play and language development in the natural setting. Building a strong foundation across all areas of development including social skills, self- help skills, communication skills, leisure skills, and cognition. We understand that each domain of development is interconnected and build programs that work hand in hand. We strive to ensure progress and meaningful change no matter how big or how small every day. Above all else our mission is to bring a smile to each child’s face each day.
The Founder
Lanna Hecht founded Fundamental Development ABA, LLC with a clear mission: to establish an early intervention agency that emphasizes play-based learning and language development. With over ten years of hands-on experience, she has worked with students who have autism, learning disabilities, ADHD, and other special needs. She holds a master’s degree in early childhood special education. Before becoming a certified behavior analyst, she spent seven years as a classroom teacher dedicated to children with special needs.
Her journey to becoming a BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) was deeply influenced by providing ABA within an early intervention framework, which significantly shaped her professional approach. Lanna blends her ABA expertise with developmentally appropriate practices drawn from early childhood education. This unique combination allows her to seamlessly transition from structured table work to a more natural, playful environment and back—always maintaining the highest standards of evidence-based treatment integrity.
