About Us

Our Approach

Our ABA programs provide support in a naturalistic way. We strive to keep learning fun!

When it comes to dangerous behaviors such as aggression and self-injury we promise to treat with dignity and compassion.

We have no minimum number of hours for treatment. Our treatment recommendations are based on the individual needs of your child.

Our Values

Embracing Individuality- every child is unique, we provide a child centered approach.

Parental Involvement- parents and caregivers are vital members of the team.

"If I had to make a general rule for living and working with children. It might be this: be wary of saying or doing anything to a child that you would not do to another adult, whose good opinion and affection you valued." -John Holt
