Some kids might find reading a gentle breeze, yet get tangled up in conversations. Others may be math whizzes but shy away from making eye contact. And that’s more than okay — it’s something to celebrate. Neurodiversity is not a flaw in the system. It is the system. The moment we stop asking

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)  is an evidence-based practice used to teach functional life skills, reduce maladaptive behaviors, and help neurodiverse children reach developmental milestones. It uses positive reinforcement, data tracking, and consistent structure to drive progress.
