"When I first started, Mac wouldn't even sit for 5 seconds with a book. Zero interest in them. I kept at it because of you and your program, now he has several favorite books and one is a must bring, favorite item!"

"My son learned how to greet his teacher by her name when entering the classroom by me prompting him everyday and then giving him positive reinforcement immediately after by giving him a little packet of gummy bears. Today he finally did it on his own when I faded out the prompting and waited to see if he would do it."

1 in 4 children in the United States are now diagnosed with a developmental need, straining resources and limiting access to services. We overcome these challenges by leveraging a child's best assets — parents and caregivers.
