Ways to Work With Us
01 — CLINICAL CARE
We center your child’s autonomy, interests, values, communication and sense of safety. Our approach combines the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) with play-based learning, naturalistic teaching, and principles informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT).
Individualized goals may include:
-
Communication, self-advocacy, and boundaries
-
Emotional awareness and regulation
-
Relationships and connection
-
Navigating change and solving problems
-
Independence and everyday routines
A different relationship with ABA
We believe our field has a responsibility to acknowledge its history and continue evolving. That means regularly asking not only “Is this intervention effective?” but also “Is this goal meaningful? Is it respectful? Does it increase this child's autonomy? Is there another way we could understand what they are communicating?”

02 - Education and Consultation
We help schools build neurodiversity-affirming practices that support the whole child.
Through observation and collaboration, we identify what’s working and offer practical recommendations to strengthen support. This is a private-pay consultation service and does not include a 1:1 therapist and is not covered by insurance.
School-Requested Consultation: Schools can work with us to assess their practices and environments and develop more supportive approaches. Fees are based on the scope of the project. We’ll discuss your school’s needs and provide a quote before services begin.
Family-Requested Consultation: Families can request consultation at their child’s school, with the school’s consent and participation. The $500 starting package includes two school observations, written recommendations tailored to your child and their school environment, and a meeting with your family to review findings and next steps. Additional consultation is discussed and priced separately.
03 - Community and Connection
Belonging beyond services. We bring children, families, and community members together to play, celebrate, and connect in a space where they can be themselves.
Birthday Parties & Private Celebrations: Celebrate your little human (or yourself!) in a space designed with childhood in mind! Our thoughtfully designed environment offers opportunities for play, creativity, movement, and exploration. We welcome celebrations that honor each child's interests, preferences, and individual needs.
Community Events & Gatherings: Opportunities for children, families, and community members to come together through playful experiences, seasonal celebrations, and shared activities.
Special Interest Experiences: Experiences centered around children's passions and interests, creating opportunities for authentic connection, exploration, and shared enjoyment.
Community Partnerships: Collaborating with local organizations and community members to create more inclusive, welcoming opportunities for children and families.
04- Staff Development
Supporting children and families starts with supporting our team. Our staff are whole humans, too; with strengths, needs, and perspectives that deserve respect.
Supporting Our Team: We recognize that every person works and learns differently. We strive to provide individualized support, thoughtful accommodations, open communication, and the flexibility to meet different needs while maintaining clear expectations and shared responsibilities.
Mentorship & Professional Growth: We invest in our team's development through collaborative supervision, ongoing mentorship, continuing education, and opportunities to develop new skills. We encourage curiosity, reflection, and a willingness to challenge practices that no longer serve the people we support.
Connection & Community: Relationships matter within our team, too. We create opportunities for staff to connect, celebrate one another, share experiences, and build a sense of belonging beyond their day-to-day responsibilities.
A Culture That Continues to Grow: We don't believe that being a supportive organization means getting everything right. It means remaining open to feedback, acknowledging when something isn't working, and being willing to make meaningful changes.
