We are thrilled to share that our STEPS Columbia clinic had its official ribbon-cutting ceremony, hosted by the amazing Howard County Chamber of Commerce and recognition of the Howard County Executive Calvin Ball Office!

This milestone was made even more meaningful with the support of the representatives from Howard County Public School System, the Maryland Coalition of Families - MCF, the Executive Director of the Autism Society of Maryland, and representatives from Congresswoman Sarah Elfreth District 3 office.

We were honored to receive several certificates and plaques recognizing our commitment to the community. A heartfelt thank-you to GameOn bar+arcade Columbia for sponsoring this event.

This recognition strengthens our passion for serving children and families, and reminds us why we do what we do. Together, we are STEPPING toward a brighter future for every child.

Assent in ABA isnโ€™t about compliance, itโ€™s about respect.
Even when a learner canโ€™t verbally say โ€œyes,โ€ their body language can tell us if theyโ€™re willing and engaged.

โœ… We look for smiles, calm bodies, and eager participation.
๐Ÿšซ We listen when they turn away, cry, or say โ€œno.โ€

The BACB Ethics Code reminds us to always respect the dignity and rights of every learner. That means ABA should be something we do with them but never to them.

๐Ÿ’ฌ Save this post as a reminder: Assent is about empowering the child.
