At The Helm ABA, our commitment goes beyond providing exceptional services—it extends to creating a thriving community where families can forge meaningful connections.  Our hope is for our clients to form relationships with other families we serve, cultivating a supportive and enriching community.

The Power of Shared Experiences:

Navigating the journey of raising a child with autism comes with unique challenges and triumphs. Shared experiences create a powerful bond among families. By connecting with others who understand the intricacies of this path, our clients have the opportunity to share insights, seek advice, and find solace in the understanding eyes of those who walk a similar journey.

Community as a Source of Strength:

Building relationships with other families at The Helm ABA is more than a social endeavor—it’s a source of strength. We explore how a community provides emotional support, encouragement, and a sense of camaraderie that can be invaluable in challenging times. By coming together, families can share not only their joys but also their concerns, forming bonds that uplift and empower each member.

Benefits for Children and Parents Alike:

Forming relationships within our community isn’t just beneficial for parents—it’s a boon for the children as well. We explore how children on the autism spectrum can thrive in an environment where they interact with peers who share similar experiences. We truly hope The Helm becomes a space where friendships blossom, social skills are honed, and a sense of belonging is nurtured.

Creating Lasting Connections:community

The connections formed at The Helm ABA extend beyond therapy sessions, creating lasting relationships that endure through the years. We envision a community where families not only find support during their time with us but continue to share milestones and celebrations long after their therapy journeys.

At The Helm ABA, we hold the sincere hope that our clients find not only exceptional services but also a welcoming community. By fostering relationships with other families we serve, we aim to create a space where shared experiences lead to lasting connections, forming a community that thrives on understanding, support, and shared joys.

Join us at The Helm ABA and be a part of a community where bonds are forged, and strength is found in the unity of shared experiences.

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.
