One-to-one sessions
Your child works with a Registered Behavior Technician assigned to them, supervised by a board certified behavior analyst who is in the room regularly — not signing off from a distance.

What we do
We do one thing, and we do it for one child at a time.
Applied Behavior Analysis, delivered the way it is supposed to be delivered: assessed by a behavior analyst, written for your child specifically, and adjusted as the data comes in. Not a template with your child's name typed at the top.
A plan built from scratch
We start with a full assessment — what your child can already do, what gets in the way, and what you actually want to change. That becomes the treatment plan, and we walk you through it line by line.
Strategies that follow you home
Regular sessions with your child's analyst so what works in therapy works at home, at grandma's, and in the grocery store. No family should be handed a binder and left to figure it out.
Progress is measured, not assumed. Data is taken every session and reviewed against the goals we set with you. If something isn't working we change it, and we tell you why rather than quietly rewriting the plan.
Getting started
Four steps, and we handle the paperwork.
Most families are surprised how much of this we do for them. You make one phone call to begin.

STEP 03
Assessment
A behavior analyst meets your child, talks with you, and builds the first treatment plan.

Full day, half day, or after school. We'll be straight with you about what's available.
Insurance

He asked for juice. Out loud, at the kitchen table, without anyone prompting him. We had been waiting years for a sentence like that.
Questions parents ask
The things you're probably wondering.
Does my child need a diagnosis before we call?
For insurance to cover services, yes — an autism diagnosis from a qualified provider is required. If you don't have one yet, call us anyway. We can point you toward evaluators in the area and tell you what to expect from that process.
How long is the waitlist?
There isn't one. We staff so families can start quickly instead of sitting on an open-ended list for months. Call and we'll give you a real date — and if for some reason we can't take your child soon, we'll say so plainly.
What will this cost us?
If you're on Ohio Medicaid, typically nothing out of pocket. On a commercial plan it depends on your deductible and copay. We verify your benefits before your child starts and walk you through the numbers, so there are no surprises after the fact.
Can my child come part time or after school?
Yes. Plenty of our clients attend school and come to us for the rest of the day, or come mornings only. The recommended hours come out of the assessment, and then we work with your schedule.
Will you work with my child's school?
With your permission, yes. We can coordinate with teachers and intervention specialists, align goals with the IEP, and attend meetings when it helps.
What does a session actually look like?
Mostly it looks like play. Skills get taught inside activities your child already enjoys, with data taken quietly in the background. You're welcome to come watch in person before you decide — we'd rather you did.
