WHAT WE DO
​
We're a disruptive force, challenging the traditional behavioral health world to advance beyond the commonplace. We're moving towards an integrative approach that blends applied behavioral science (ABA & PRT Therapy) with Therapeutic Horsemanship. This unique combination is designed to train what's truly most important: presence and self-regulation for autistic children, leading to faster, more profound, and long-lasting results.
​
Our core offering of ABA & PRT Therapy is available to support your child's development at both our Sandy Springs, GA, and Eagleville, TN locations. For an even more dynamic and engaging path to presence and self-regulation, families can opt to include our specialized therapeutic horsemanship program, exclusively offered at our Eagleville, TN location.
