A compassionate and personalized alternative to ABA therapy
Positive Development offers a complete care model specifically tailored to meet the needs of your child.
ABA therapy: possible challenges and limitations
Traditional Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) has been the main therapy choice for people on the autism spectrum, teaching skills through reinforcement and discipline, usually led by an adult. ABA treatment may focus on observable behaviors and measure progress based on set developmental goals rather than individual benchmarks. Emphasis is commonly placed to develop or act “normal”, enforcing control and compliance.
Developmental therapy:
a tailored approach
Our developmental model harnesses your child’s natural curiosity by incorporating play and helping them grow at their own pace with individual benchmarks. This approach strongly differs from other types of traditional autism therapy - it builds safe and secure connections through play!

Hear directly from a parent
"I didn't know that I was looking for tools for myself. I learned how to be the kind of mom he needs. I learned to be his safe space. And I wasn't expecting that. And maybe I should have been looking for that and I didn't even know to look for it, but it was so necessary and I'm so grateful for it."
Therapy that emphasizes the entire family
Not only does our therapeutic approach focus on functional development for your child, but it also concentrates on skills needed to create and maintain deep and meaningful relationships.
