Three moments from an ordinary Tuesday, because "trauma-informed" should mean something you can picture.
Mom brings this week’s hard thing: the grocery store meltdown. Together with the BCBA, they map what happened before, during, and after — and leave with one small change to try.
Instead of describing the strategy, the BCBA role-plays it. Parents practice the words and the timing before they ever need them at home.
Did it work? Sort of. So the plan gets adjusted — because parent collaboration is a loop, not a lecture series.
The right fit matters more to us than a full roster. If we're not it, we'll help you find who is.
Biweekly, scheduled around your life — in person at the center or remotely via telehealth, whichever works that week. Less classroom, more game plan — one real problem at a time.
No agenda but yours: the grocery store, bedtime, the car seat. You pick what matters.
Together you and the BCBA map what happens before, during, and after — no blame, just data.
Not a lifestyle overhaul. One concrete, doable change — with the exact words to use.
You practice the words and timing with the BCBA before you ever need them for real.
You run the play at home. Notes welcome, perfection not required.
What worked stays, what didn’t gets rewritten. It’s a loop, not a lecture.
Parent training is one of the most consistently supported components in the entire ABA literature — outcomes are stronger and last longer when caregivers carry strategies home. It’s identified as an evidence-based practice by the National Clearinghouse on Autism Evidence & Practice. No invented statistics and no guarantees — just methods grounded in the research, built around your actual household.
Pick your plan. We'll tell you right now — no form, no callback needed for this part.
That criticism is real, and much of it describes practices we reject: planned ignoring of distress, extinguishing harmless stimming, goals chosen without the child. Here, sessions move at your child's pace, a child's "no" changes what we do, stimming isn't a treatment target unless it causes harm, and you can watch any session, any time. We wrote a whole page on this — Why Trauma-Informed ABA — and the best answer is to come tour the center and meet us yourself.
No. Sessions start from the assumption that you’re the expert on your child and you’re doing your best with a hard situation. It’s a game plan built together — never a report card.
Please. Strategies work when everyone who cares for your child uses them the same way — we’ll happily coach the whole team, including in Spanish.
Some plans do require caregiver participation as part of ABA coverage — TRICARE is the best-known example (we're not in TRICARE's network, but the requirement is common elsewhere too). We'd want you here anyway, and most families end up glad the requirement exists: this is where the wins start showing up at home.
Biweekly, scheduled around your life — in person at the center or remotely via telehealth, whichever works that week. The rhythm matters more than the frequency — a consistent loop of try, review, adjust.
Yes — anytime, unannounced. Cameras run in every room during all hours, and parents are welcome to observe in person, or watch the live feed from our in-center family room. The cameras aren’t accessible over the internet — by design. We built it this way on purpose: trust you can verify beats trust we ask for.
