WE ARE HERE TO HELP
We are a group of professionals who have dedicated our lives to working with children and young adults with a neurobehavioral disorder. For us this is more than a job, this is our passion and our love. We see the struggles families go through raising their children, we understand the challenges in their everyday lives and we see the stress it can cause without the proper support and training.
We are here to help if you need staff to work with your children we will match you with the best staff who either possess similar interests or have extensive experience with children similar to yours, It is important to us that the match is a positive one as many people come and go in our children’s lives and this causes further unnecessary stress.

Our Services
We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing the much needed support and education to families in our community.
RESPITE
We provide short term temporary relief for caregivers providing care to individuals with special needs. We will match your loved one with a staff that will provide the best care possible.
Our goal is to provide a much needed break to relieve your stress, renew your energy, and restore a sense of balance to your lives.
Respite can take place in your home or away in the home of our staff.
PARENT AIDE
Parent Aide is designed to help parents who, for whatever reason, are struggling with the task of being a parent and need temporary guidance to help them through difficult times.
Being a parent can be very difficult and demanding when we are experiencing stress, feeling overwhelmed or isolated, going through a crisis or facing financial difficulties - we are here to help.
Our staff will support you in any we can:
Budgeting
Parenting skills
Community resources
Communication skills
BEHAVIORAL SERVICES
Behavioral Services is a home, school and community based service offered to individuals (children as well as adults) in our community.
COMMUNITY OUTREACH
All of our Community Outreach staff (COS) receive ABA training from our Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Our COS team are qualified to implement ABA programming under the direction of our BCBA with direct support from one of our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT).
