Structured ABA therapy to build essential social skills for effective communication and connection.

The Importance Of Social Skills Development For Autism
A foundation for meaningful relationships and effective communication.
As a leading intervention for children on the autism spectrum, Applied Behavior Analysis addresses social skill deficits which can affect a child’s ability to communicate and form relationships.
Our structured social skills programs incorporate verbal and non-verbal ABA communication strategies to empower children to develop critical social skills, such as initiating conversations, understanding social cues, and navigating group dynamics. Whether your child is learning to make a new friend or participate in a team setting, we tailor our approach to meet their unique needs with guided engagements in an enjoyable, natural environment.


Socialization For Success
A Supportive Environment for Social Development
Role Playing
Guided practice in realistic social scenarios helps children learn how to initiate conversations, take turns, and resolve conflicts in a safe and supportive environment.
Peer Interaction
Carefully facilitated group activities, games, and play sessions create positive engagements with peers to teach collaboration, empathy, and sportsmanship.
Social Storytelling
Using engaging narratives and visual aids, we teach complex concepts like understanding emotions, perspective-taking, and appropriate responses to social situations.
Skill Generalization
Positive reinforcement motivates children to repeat learned social skills in real-life situations at home and in community, fostering lasting progress and increased independence.

Success Stories
The true impact of our work is best reflected in the words of our clients.
I’ve been through the ups, the downs, the medication trials and tapers, the hospitalizations, the endless school calls, emails, and texts. I’ve felt the pain of isolation, the tears, the depression. I’ve experienced the failure of services that weren’t the right fit, and the heartbreak that comes when nothing seems to work. I’ve felt the physical, verbal, and emotional toll of parenting a child with extreme behavioral needs. I’ve been there, ready to give up with nowhere left to turn.
But I didn’t give up. And I’m writing this today to tell you not to either.
Brighter Strides ABA Therapy has been nothing short of life-changing for our family. Since starting services with them, and more importantly, with the right team, my son has gone from 50 aggressive behaviors in an hour to five or fewer a week. Sometimes even none. That’s not an exaggeration. It’s a testament to the power of the right support, the right medication plan, and the right people.
To Hannah and Kuri, our BCBA and RBT, you have not only changed my son’s life, you have saved my mental health as a parent. You’ve brought peace and hope back into our home. I will forever be indebted to you.
To the parents still in the thick of it: don’t stop advocating. Don’t stop learning. Don’t let anyone make you question how well you know your child. Every gut instinct I followed, every time I pushed back or pressed harder, it paid off. Keep fighting the fight. Be willing to grow and adapt alongside your child. There is always more to learn. And there is help out there that does work, Brighter Strides is proof of that.
ABA therapy, when done right, with the right people, alongside proper medication and parent training, is a game changer. It’s not perfect—but nothing is. And when you’ve been through what we have, even small wins feel like miracles.
Thank you, Brighter Strides. Thank you, Hannah and Kuri. You didn’t just help my son, you saved our family.
Mrs. Alyssa, our dedicated coordinator, has been an exceptional advocate for my son, ensuring that his needs are met on various different occasions when I was unknowledgeable on how to express them. Mrs. Z, through her one-on-one sessions, has brought creativity, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to his development, making a meaningful impact that has not gone unnoticed.
Thank you both for not only supporting my son but also guiding and uplifting our entire family as we navigate this journey. Your hard work and commitment mean the world to us!
