Wearable Technology Evaluations & Monitoring
Our curated therapies are selected for the individual after an in-house evaluation by our integrative team of BCBA, LPC, OT, and PT. Consulting with parents, caregivers, and educators can DISRUPT slow, archaic approaches to AUTISM TREATMENT.
This approach is inspired by:
William Blake's: Auguries of Innocence
" To see a World in a Grain of Sand
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower
Hold Infinity in the Palm of your Hand
And Eternity in an Hour"
WHAT WE DO
We are a disruptive force, challenging the ABA world to advance past archaic and commonplace, moving towards an integrative approach using behavioral science to train what is truly most important overall - PRESENCE and Self-regulation for children with Special Needs.
We are like-minded professionals who envision a path forward to treating regulation issues FASTER and with long lasting results through integrative therapies based on advances in neuroscience. Our Board and Staff are comprised of Board Certified Behavior Analysts, former professional Ballet dancers, Licensed Professional Counselors, educators, musicians, and a Neurology Nurse Practitioner - all professionals who see a new and optimal solutions to offer to the community.
Your donations are 100% tax deductible and support our programs and help reduce the cost of therapy for many families.
The children thank you!
