Our Mission
We are dedicated to providing comprehensive behavior therapy services to children with autism to help them reach their highest potential. The goal of every child’s program is to “close the gap” between their current skill set and that of their peers. We give children with autism the skills and support needed to help them reach their best possible outcome.
We have a passion for working with children and their families to create a positive experience as they navigate through what can be a challenging and overwhelming time. We focus on celebrating every success, no matter how small.
Our Values are essential components to every child and family’s therapy experience
Optimism
We offer hope and encouragement to families as we know that a better quality of life for their child is absolutely possible.
Impact
Children receive ABA therapy, the gold-standard of autism treatment, to speed up learning and create the greatest amount of growth.
Creativity
Bubbles, finger painting, dance parties and more! Our goal is to continuously develop ways make therapy not only enriching for your child, but fun and engaging too!
Compassion
As parents, we understand wanting our children to have the very best possible future. We rely on research to guide our practice, but we rely on kindness, compassion and trust to connect with and serve each of our families.
