Little ones can jump, climb, and explore in a safe, welcoming environment while parents and caregivers connect and build community.

We can’t wait to see you next Wednesday, March 11th!

Happy Milestone Monday! This milestone Monday highlights AJ. Both AJ's mom and PT, Laura, reflect on his accomplishments and growth during EI services with us. 💙

AJ's mom, Emily shares “One especially meaningful milestone for our son has been his physical development. When he began Early Intervention at eight months old, he could not sit up independently, and today he is walking, jogging, and climbing stairs on his own. His love for being active—especially playing at parks—helped motivate these gains, as movement and play were used to build strength, balance, and coordination in a natural way. These milestones have increased his independence and confidence in everyday life, from playing alongside other children to exploring his environment more freely.”

We have exciting news! 🎉
Kirsten Johnson just passed her exam and is now a BCBA for our ABA program in Fargo!

She shares, “I always knew that I wanted work with kids, but had never heard of the world of Applied Behavior Analysis. I started in ABA 5 years ago, and quickly saw how large an impact it can have on families’ lives. I worked as a Registered Behavior Technician for two years before I was finally ready to take the next step and work towards becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Since day one, the team encouraged me to take that step and waited patiently until I was ready. Today, I’ve done it. Now I get to take all that I have learned and help families reach their goals.

I love ABA because we get the opportunity to come alongside families and work on a wide variety of skills, such as communication, social skills, play, and daily living skills. We teach skills that help the child independently meet their needs, not just reduce undesired behaviors. All behavior tells us something, and now I get to help make sure that whatever it is telling us actually meets the needs of the individual.”

Meet Mycah! Mycah's PT, Kody has had the privilege of working with Mycah since he was just a few weeks old. Each skill he mastered brought cheers and celebration and helped fuel his motivation, bringing him closer and closer to his mountain-moving potential.

His mom shared "May 23, 2022 was our first meeting with Kody. Just a little over one month after he was born. Kody has been pivotal in helping us get services started for Mycah and checking in on his growth and development for three years! He’s put up with my endless questions, concerns, and urgency to get things rolling as soon as possible. Mycah started his first therapy before he was 6 months old simply because Kody said, “if that’s what you want, we’ll make it happen!” He approached everything with a “we’ll figure out a way” attitude and showed genuine care, concern, and love for our sweet boy! Thank you Kody for guiding us from the very beginning when we felt incapable. You’ve not only helped Mycah grow, but us too!" 💙

We're so grateful for stories like Mycah's!
