How we do it

Support for the whole family

Expert-led therapy plans

Breakthrough Teams led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts design individualized plans that teach verbal communication, motor development and social interaction.

Focused progression

Step by step, from first words to playing with peers, from toilet training to homework, keeping you informed along the way.

Parent involvement

Ongoing parent training gives families the tools to reinforce therapy at home, alongside our social skills groups.

Real success stories

These aren't stories we made up. They're real breakthroughs.

Due to privacy policies, all stories are anonymous. Every child is different, and progress varies.

Building communication

A non-verbal client from Spain with a dual diagnosis began speaking English independently.

Social connections

A client who once avoided others now takes part in after-school programs and engages with peers.

Food preferences

A child who would only drink one specific smoothie now enjoys a variety of foods, including water and waffles.

Toileting independence

A client who struggled to generalize bathroom use now uses public restrooms and school facilities.

Literacy

A non-verbal teenage client now reads sentences and understands their meaning independently.

Communication over aggression

A client who used to pinch others now lightly taps their therapist's arm to get attention.

Speech

A client progressed from one-syllable words to full conversations with clearer pronunciation.

Academic independence

A student who needed constant prompting now writes in their agenda and completes work on their own.

Feeding

A child who used to only lick food now finishes a full meal without tantrums.

Everyday breakthroughs

Every milestone paves the way for the next.
