How many hours of child-led ABA will you provide my child?
All of our services are individualized to meet your child's needs. There is no hourly requirement! We see some clients for 1 hour a month and others for 30 hours a week. Our goal is to provide a high quality service for less hours so you have more time to connect as a family. Our care model moves past the traditional tier system of ABA and offers direct hours with a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). If additional support is needed, a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) may be provided.
What is Neurodiversity-Affirming Care?
Neurodiversity-affirming care is an approach to therapy that embraces and values the natural variations in human neurology and behavior that exist within the human population. It seeks to challenge conventional notions of normalcy and instead encourages a celebration of diversity in neurology, including neurotypes like autism, ADHD, and dyslexia.
Hallmarks of Neurodiversity-Affirming Care include:
-
Purpose is to support and accommodate rather than teach to appear neurotypical
-
eye contact is never required​
-
gestures, AAC use, gestalts/scripts, and signs are treated as equal to speech
-
-
Assent is honored
-
Lived experience (firsthand knowledge of the neurodivergent experience) is valued
-
Learner's opinion and perspective are centered when making treatment decisions
-
The risks associated with masking are considered in goals and session content

Do you have a waitlist?
It became impossible to provide families with an accurate time frame of how long they would be on our waitlist for due to our small staff size and insurance credentialing wait times. Due to this, we implemented a new system. If a family contacts us and we do not have immediate openings, we share this openly and ask they call back at a later date. If we do have immediate openings, we talk through their current situation and review if we would be a good fit to meet their family and child's current needs. Although I wish we could start every family right away, I need to be realistic what our team of 10 is capable of on a daily basis. I thank this community for your continued support!
