Rooting for each other... making an assist... first-string teammates going the extra yard... and the extra mile... serving... supporting... defending... pressing toward a common goal...
Our team does all that and more. They cheer on their clients, and they sharpen each other's skills - day in and day out.
We are immeasurably proud of their dedicated work, their endless creativity, and their deep loyalty to our families.

"Did you twin with anyone today?"
Kiddo: "Will!"
This was news to Will.
Will is one of our Lead Behavior Technicians.
They had not planned to be twins for spirit day.
But our client wanted to take a photo with Will... because Will is cool and makes them feel cool, too. That's the best type of "twinning" - to look up to someone who makes you happy to be yourself.

Every pair here (or triple or quadruple...) is more than just a set of matching shirts - these are people who support each other and celebrate each other day in and day out.

"Manding," or making requests, is critical for every child's development and well-being.

ABA helps children practice responding to and giving "mands"
at progressively complex levels...

We hope you're surviving this "lizard weather," the warm and sticky (maybe even too sticky!) air that our cold-blooded friends thrive in...specifically our cold-blooded 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒓𝒐𝒐𝒎 friends who visited our learning center earlier this year.
Throwback to a great experience when Emily R., one of our Behavior Technicians, brought in her own pet lizards for our students to interact with!
