Mission Statement
Beyond the BASICS is committed to providing industry leading behavior analytic services to children with and without disabilities while providing trainings and direct therapy with a focus on trauma-informed care. We wish to challenge traditional models of behavioral therapy and ABA therapy by empowering providers and parents to look at behavior both functionally and kindly. We know Black Lives Matter, Queer Lives Matter, and Autistic voices Matter and will also strive to honor those truths.
We can always do better and will continue to do so.
