Who We Are Elevated Kids is a boutique, BCBA-founded and owned early autism care provider specializing in a natural, play-based approach to ABA that is thoughtful and relationship-driven for toddlers and young children. We were intentionally built to be different; placing intention, quality, and meaningful impact at the center of everything we do.

Our care model is grounded in Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI), the gold standard for early autism care. By blending the science of ABA with developmental and relationship-based practices, we support meaningful growth across communication, social engagement, play, and daily life skills with parent coaching as a central pillar of our work.

Families experience a concierge-style level of care that is highly personalized, responsive, and collaborative from the very first phone call. We are guided by compassion, integrity, and a belief that every child and family deserves exceptional support, not a one-size-fits-all model. Our team is made up of thoughtful, driven professionals who value collaboration, clarity, and continuous improvement. We believe high-quality care and a healthy, sustainable work environment go hand in hand.

What We Do Elevated Kids provides individualized, family-centered autism care through a boutique, interdisciplinary model designed to meet children and families where they are. Our services are delivered in the settings where young children naturally learn and thrive, including homes, preschools, community spaces, and our center, because research consistently shows this leads to the most meaningful and lasting outcomes.

Our approach emphasizes developmentally appropriate goals, authentic engagement, and strong caregiver partnership. Parent coaching and caregiver involvement are embedded throughout our model, empowering families with the tools and confidence to support their child beyond sessions.

In addition to home- and community-based services, we offer center-based care, occupational therapy, and diagnostic assessments, allowing families access to coordinated support within one aligned, high-touch system. Every child’s care is intentionally designed, thoughtfully monitored, and continuously adapted. Our model represents a modern evolution of ABA prioritizing developmental science, family partnership, and sustainable, high-quality care that supports long-term clinician fulfillment.
