About Connect N Care ABA
Why We Exist
Your child is so much more than their label. You know that, and at Connect N Care, we do too.
The ongoing battles are everywhere. The school conferences where you repeat your child's story, the glances when they struggle in public spaces, the drain of fighting for acceptance every day.
We want you to discover the joys of parenting a child on the spectrum. We want you to see your child blossoming, and learning the skills to become exactly who they were born to be.
That's precisely why Connect N Care ABA exists.

Family Care Coordinators

Accredited & Trusted: Our Commitment to Quality Care
At Connect n Care ABA, we know that choosing the right therapy provider is a big decision. That’s why we proudly display our BACB ACE Award and BHCOE accreditation — symbols of our dedication to high-quality ABA therapy.
Why it matters:
BACB ACE Award:
Recognizes excellence in ABA therapy and highlights our commitment to best practices, staff expertise, and outstanding outcomes.

ABA-specific accreditation that verifies our clinical quality, staff qualifications, and dedication to ethical, effective care.
When you choose Connect n Care ABA, you’re partnering with a provider that puts your child’s well-being first. These recognitions reflect our ongoing commitment to safe, effective, and compassionate care every step of the way.
Your residence is your child's safe haven. We conduct therapy in your family space, dining area, or outdoor areas, transforming daily schedules, play periods, and household tasks into development opportunities—without requiring your family to follow inflexible timetables.
For concentrated, systematic sessions, our facilities offer a nurturing space for capability development. We merge research-supported approaches with interactive activities customized to your child's preferences and learning patterns
Family Education and Guidance
You serve as your child's primary educator. Our family education equips you with effective methods, practical resources, and the assurance to strengthen abilities at home, manage difficult behaviors, and sustain advancement.

Our professionals collaborate with educators and administrators to assist your child in classrooms, dining spaces, and recreational areas—ensuring home-learned strategies apply at school.

Our Principles Shape Every Choice
- Following Your Child's Natural Timeline :
Some children require more time to feel comfortable with new faces. Others engage quickly but become overstimulated easily. We observe your child's authentic learning style and modify our approach accordingly. Your family's goals become our roadmap. - Complete Transparency:
When you inquire about our weekly objectives, you receive a clear response. When you request data review, we provide it. When something seems confusing, we clarify until you understand. No clinical terminology, no secretive approaches. - Science Applied Thoughtfully:
We implement evidence-based methods, but we understand your household isn't a laboratory setting. When standard techniques don't align with your child or family dynamics, we adapt until they fit perfectly.
- Adapting to Your Reality:
You shouldn't reorganize your career, skip family celebrations, or modify your parenting philosophy to accommodate therapy. We shape our methods around your family's actual lifestyle. - Honest Communication Always:
When progress plateaus, we acknowledge it. When strategies aren't effective, we modify them. When your child requires additional time beyond our initial projections, we address it directly. You deserve truthful communication, not comforting generalizations. - Real-World Skill Application:
If your child only responds to instructions from their Wednesday therapist but not from you, siblings, or educators, our job isn't complete. We persist until abilities emerge naturally across all relationships and environments.
Supporting Development Through Every Phase
At Connect N Care ABA, we work with children and young adults from 1 to 21 years old, adapting our approach to match where your child is right now and what they're ready to tackle next.
Your child is on the brink of achieving so much too. With the right team at your side, working right alongside you - your child’s accomplishments will astonish.
The Early Years (1–3)
These little ones are just figuring out how to communicate their needs and connect with the people they love. We help them discover their voice, understand their feelings, and start building those first important relationships through play and exploration.
Like 2-year-old Marcus, who used to have meltdowns when he wanted his favorite snack. Now he brings his mom to the kitchen and points to the crackers, and he's starting to say "please" when he really wants something.
Preschool Time (3–5)
This is when kids start wanting to do things "by myself!" We work on the skills that help them feel independent—getting dressed, following routines, playing with friends—while learning to handle big emotions when things don't go as planned.
Like 4-year-old Emma, who can now put on her own shoes and jacket before preschool. She still needs help with buttons, but she tries first and asks for help when she's stuck instead of getting frustrated.
Elementary Age (6–12)
School becomes a big part of life, and we help kids navigate both the classroom and the playground. Whether it's raising their hand to answer questions, working in groups, or figuring out recess friendships, we're building confidence in all the places that matter.
Like 8-year-old Jake, who used to eat lunch alone every day. Now he sits with two classmates, shares his cookies, and even invited a friend over for a playdate last weekend.
The Teen Years (13–17)
Teenagers want more independence, and we help them earn it. We work on self-advocacy, organization skills, and those tricky social situations that come with adolescence. The goal is helping them speak up for themselves and take on more responsibility.
Like 15-year-old Sarah, who now manages her own homework schedule and advocates for herself during IEP meetings. She even got a part-time job at the local library, where she's learning workplace social skills.
Young Adulthood (18–21)
These young adults are getting ready for life after school. We focus on job skills, managing their own schedules, and all the practical stuff they'll need to live independently. It's about preparing them for whatever comes next.
Like 19-year-old David, who recently moved into a supervised apartment program. He does his own grocery shopping, takes public transportation to his job at a local restaurant, and calls his parents twice a week just to chat.

Melissa MacDougall
I hardly do reviews but I had to take the time to give much deserved accolades to Kelly! While getting my son tested for Autism she was absolutely amazing. It’s very rare he engages with anyone and she made him feel so comfortable that he opened up like a book. She had so many suggestions to help me with his day to day as well as at school and they have been such a game changer for him.
Keahri Woods
We are beyond grateful for the exceptional care and support our son received. Their dedication and expertise in ABA therapy have truly transformed our family’s journey. Our BCBA provided invaluable strategies that gave us confidence in managing daily challenges, while our RBT built an incredible bond with our son, helping him thrive.
