Creating Impactful Spaces for ABA Therapy and Behavioral Health: Introducing Our New LookBook

March 6, 2025

At Infinity Group, we understand that the design of ABA therapy and behavioral health spaces plays a critical role in fostering positive outcomes for children, families, and individuals seeking support. The built environment is more than just a physical structure—it is a foundation for healing, learning, and growth. That’s why we are proud to introduce our Behavioral Health Look Book, a comprehensive showcase of thoughtfully designed spaces that support the essential work of behavioral health professionals, including those in ABA therapy, addiction treatment, and other specialized therapies.

Through our work, we have seen firsthand how intentional design choices can create an environment that enhances therapeutic interventions and improves the well-being of those receiving care. This year’s LookBook highlights the latest trends, insights, and innovations that are shaping the future of ABA therapy centers and behavioral health spaces, offering inspiration and solutions for organizations looking to build or enhance their centers.

Our Commitment to Transformative Spaces

With over two decades of experience, Infinity Group has become a trusted partner in creating more than one hundred behavioral health environments that balance functionality, aesthetics, and therapeutic effectiveness.

We recognize that ABA therapy and behavioral health treatments require spaces that prioritize comfort, sensory considerations, and flexibility. Whether it’s a therapy room designed to support focused engagement, a calming sensory area, or a community space that fosters social development, every aspect of our designs is purpose-driven.

Designing for ABA Therapy: Key Considerations

ABA therapy requires spaces that are structured yet flexible, stimulating yet calming, and engaging yet secure. Our design approach focuses on several key principles:

  1. Creating Structured Yet Adaptive Environments

  • Therapy spaces must provide clear boundaries and predictable layouts to help children navigate their environment with confidence.
  • Modular design elements allow for reconfiguration to meet the needs of evolving therapy programs.
  • Acoustical control minimizes distractions, ensuring that children can stay engaged during sessions.

  1. Prioritizing Sensory-Friendly Design

  • Many children receiving ABA therapy are sensitive to sensory stimuli. We incorporate soft lighting, calming color palettes, and noise-reducing materials to create a comfortable atmosphere.
  • Designated sensory rooms provide safe spaces for children to regulate emotions and engage in therapeutic activities.
  • Flexible furniture and soft finishes ensure that spaces can accommodate a variety of sensory needs.

  1. Ensuring Safety and Security Without Compromising Comfort

  • Behavioral health and ABA therapy centers require secure access points, visibility for supervision, and durable, non-toxic materials.
  • Open yet controlled layouts allow therapists and staff to monitor interactions while ensuring privacy.
  • Child-friendly designs minimize risks by using rounded corners and easily cleanable surfaces.

  1. Incorporating Natural Elements for a Calming Effect

  • Biophilic design—bringing nature indoors—has been shown to reduce anxiety and enhance focus.
  • Indoor plants, natural light, and earthy tones contribute to an environment that feels safe and inviting.
  • Outdoor play and therapy areas provide opportunities for movement-based learning and social development.

Looking to the Future: Expanding Access to Thoughtful Behavioral Health Spaces

The demand for ABA therapy and behavioral health services is growing. As organizations expand their reach, designing for longevity, adaptability, and innovation is crucial. Our team at Infinity Group collaborates with providers to create centers that support clinical best practices, regulatory requirements, and long-term sustainability.

We believe that every child and family deserves access to a space that fosters healing, growth, and success. That’s why the Behavioral Health LookBook is more than just a presentation of our work—it’s an invitation to reimagine the future of ABA therapy and behavioral health spaces.
