A therapy experience that feels like playtime

With in-home, daycare, and preschool options, every session is led directly by a BCBA and never handed off to a technician, so your child gets expert early intervention wherever they are.

  • In-Home ABA Therapy

    → Based in the San Francisco Bay Area

    We bring fun toys, crafts, and sensory-friendly tools to embed therapy into your child’s home life, teaching them skills for daily routines like mealtime, toileting, play, and bedtime. If you have goals for your child with their siblings and other caregivers, they’ll also be incorporated.

  • Daycare ABA Therapy

    Based in the San Francisco Bay Area

    From settling in at drop-off to sharing toys during free play, we help your child navigate the everyday rhythms of daycare with more comfort, communication, and connection. We also work alongside daycare staff so the skills your child builds in sessions carry into their time with teachers and peers.

  • Preschool ABA Therapy

    → Based in the San Francisco Bay Area

    We’ll team up with your child’s preschool teachers to support your child’s participation in classroom routines like circle time, group instructions, and rotating play centers, helping your child build the skills to thrive prior to their transition to elementary school.

Following your child’s lead makes all the difference.

Our BCBA-led, play-based ABA adapts to your child’s comfort level and interests. They get to pick what to play, practice skills little by little, and set the pace for how much we do at a time.

By following their natural rhythm within structured and free play, we create a space where they feel comfortable and ready to learn new skills like:

We collaborate with your family

Caregivers are a vital part of the team. You’re always welcome to join sessions and ask questions along the way. We’ll also meet with you regularly to review your child’s progress and help shape their plan and goals.

Modern science guides us

We stay current with the latest research for ABA and child development. That’s why we are proud to deliver care embedded with NDBIs, the ESDM, assent, and practical behavior change strategies.

We celebrate neurodiversity

We don’t try to mold kids to “fit in” with neurotypical norms. We help your child embrace their individuality while they build their confidence, autonomy, and connection with others.

What to expect before we begin

Getting started with services shouldn’t feel like chasing your little one around a jungle gym. We make the intake process simple.

02 Coverage & Intake Call

While the consult call is about exploring fit, the intake call is where we start building your child’s plan. During a 45-minute call, we will get to know your child’s strengths, talk through your family’s goals, and discuss scheduling.

03 In-Person Assessment

Next, we will meet with your family at home for a relaxed and play-based observation. We’ll see you in real time to get a feel for what life is really like for your family, then walk you through the first steps towards growth and what sessions will look like.

Who We Care For

We support children ages 0-5 years with or without a diagnosis. Whether you’re navigating an autism diagnosis, suspected autism, a developmental or social delay, communication challenges, or learning differences, we’re here to help.

Private Pay & Cost

We are a private-pay provider and do not bill insurance directly. Private-pay services are for families who want direct access to the care their child needs with greater privacy and without diagnostic requirements, authorizations, utilization limits, or delays. 

Our BCBA-direct care model rate is $225/hour.

There are no hidden fees or long term contracts. Our team can provide a superbill for out-of-network reimbursement, though these benefits may vary by insurance plan.
