Family Fun Nights with The Helm

Family Fun Nights

At The Helm ABA, we understand the importance of fostering connections and building a sense of community for families affected by autism. That’s why we’re thrilled to introduce our latest initiative – Family Fun Nights! These gatherings are not just events; they’re opportunities for families to come together, share experiences, and create lasting bonds outside the clinical setting.

What Are Family Fun Nights?

Family Fun Nights are relaxed and enjoyable events held at various restaurants across the metroplex. They provide a chance for our families to connect, unwind, and for our dedicated staff to see the kiddos we work with in a different light. It’s all about creating a supportive network where families can share stories, insights, and laughter.

Why Family Fun Nights? Family Fun Nights

  1. Community Building: We believe that a sense of community is crucial for families navigating the world of autism. Family Fun Nights offer a casual environment for parents, caregivers, and children to meet, mingle, and form connections that go beyond the clinical setting.
  2. Staff Interaction: Our dedicated staff is excited to see your kiddos in a different setting! It’s an opportunity for them to witness the incredible progress and joy your child experiences outside the therapy room.
  3. Relaxed Atmosphere: No therapy sessions, no assessments – just a relaxed and enjoyable evening. It’s a chance to unwind, have fun, and share the triumphs and challenges of the autism journey.

What Can You Expect?

  1. Rotating Venues: Family Fun Nights will be hosted at various restaurants around the metroplex. This ensures accessibility for families and adds an element of excitement as we explore different venues.
  2. Our Incredible Crew: We know that it’s not always easy to enjoy a meal out. Our amazing staff will be there to help, if needed!
  3. Networking Opportunities: Connect with other families who understand your journey. Share advice, swap stories, and form a network of support that extends beyond the event.

We have been a family blessed with the help of the team at The Helm. Our son was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder when he was 2.5 and The Helm was one of the places recommended by our developmental psychologist. I am a physician and still found it hard navigating this new medical problem and knowing what to do next. I called many places and from step one Lee Ann was the most helpful explaining the process with paperwork, assessment, available services, insurance, etc. we were able to start therapy quite soon after diagnosis and had sessions at home daily for 3 hours. The quality of staff, the system they have in place for the therapists, the coordination by the BCBA supervising therapist and early response put us at ease that we were on the right path. Ultimately the steady positive changes we saw with our son overcame any fears we had about autism holding our son back for the rest of his life.

We used many forms of intervention that we felt were individually tailored for our family – for potty training, anger management, dietary intervention and even let them know when we could not maintain something suggested in family training, and they would just take our request and implement another plan. Our son has now graduated/transitioned out of therapy and is currently in pre-K in a regular classroom with him on par with his class in academics, has friends and no behavior issues. Most important of all we have a happy son who loves to play with his big sister.

I know that I will always read all there is on autism and watch my son for any features. But I hope my review adds to positive aspects that I wish someone would have told me when I started the journey – start early, don’t put off your suspicions, get your child evaluated now! The label does not hinder,  in fact it falls to the side once you have the diagnosis to facilitate therapy. ABA intervention, especially done with the right people, makes a big difference. It does not pressure or upset the child at all, and you are not stuck in therapy for life! I know if any behavioral issues come up in the future I have The Helm, and they will help us and the outcome is going to be positive. Said with heartfelt thanks.
