We think differently about people who think differently.
Instead of looking at autism as a disease, Haim sees it for what it is: simply different. With equal parts heart and vision, Haim seeks to make our world a lot easier for all the people who see things a little differently.
What is Kind ABA™?
It’s ABA that believes that your child’s personality is something to be celebrated, not suppressed.
While traditional ABA can be formulaic, Kind ABA™ is loving, compassionate, and kind, a set of guidelines that help form a genuine connection between therapist and client.
Not only does Kind ABA™ strengthen the child-therapist bond, it also improves behavioral outcomes. Because when clients feel safe and supported, the very best things can happen!
At Haim, Less is More.
ABA is a lot like parenting: Sometimes, an extra treat or more TV time is effective. But why start there when your child might just need a hug?
At Haim, we double down on warmth and use rewards and consequences with care. Every “intervention” has its side effects, so we start with the basics: skilled support, compassion, and the right kind of attention. And we’ll keep going from there.
Our philosophy around treatment methodology is: Gentle guidance. Conscious changes. And, of course, a huge dose of heart.
Our Mission
At Haim ABA, we employ Kind ABA™ to nurture clients and empower parents. We seek pragmatic care solutions while staying idealistic at heart. And we endeavor to help everyone at Haim feel like family.
