If your child stims-by hand-flapping, rocking, humming,spinning, or any other repetitive movement-you may have been told it's something to stop. At Higher Ground, we take a different approach.
What is Stimming?
Stimming is a way the nervous system seeks or processes sensory input. It's not random, it serves a purpose:
-Regulation: calming when overwhelmed or expressing excitement when happy
-sensory balance: Blocking out painful sounds/lights or providing deep pressure the body craves
-Communication: showing joy, anxiety, or frustration when words are hard to find or if your kiddo has difficulty communicating in general

For many individuals, including those who are neurotypical, stimming is essential to feeling safe and regulated! From time to time most of us have engaged in stimming behaviors, from twirling your hair or tapping your leg, these behaviors are truly just apart of being human! At Higher Ground, we dont view stimming as "wrong" and the only time that our BCBA's would target stimming behaviors, is if the behaviors are unsafe to the client or their peers. We don't change who children are, we help them thrive.

From her first day to her last day of fieldwork—what a journey! 🎉 Please join us in celebrating Anna Beth, who just completed her fieldwork hours with Higher Ground ABA in Lexington.

Anna Beth came to us from Alabama in 2023, new to ABA but full of heart. Over the past two years, her passion, curiosity, and dedication have inspired everyone around her. Here’s what she shared about her experience:

“I had never heard of ABA before applying, but it quickly became my passion. Over the past two years of fieldwork with Higher Ground, my passion and knowledge have grown thanks to the wonderful influences around me every day. I don’t think I could have made it to this point without my co-workers and supervisors’ encouragement or the joy my clients have brought me.”

Anna Beth—we are so proud of you! We can’t wait to see all you’ll accomplish as you sit for your BCBA exam soon. 💙

Beyond the Clinic, we’re taking skills into the real world—whether that’s making a splash at the pool, picking the perfect pumpkin, or learning independence one purchase at a time.

Our BCBA Sami Nelson, M.Ed, BCBA, LBA had this to say about community sessions:

“When you see an RBT out in the community—whether it’s at a summer camp, on a field trip, or exploring a local park you’re actually seeing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in action beyond the clinic walls.
These moments are so much more than just “being out and about.” They’re intentional opportunities to help individuals generalize the skills they’ve worked hard to build in structured settings and apply them in real-life environments. From waiting in line and following group directions to engaging with peers and navigating new routines, every experience is a chance to grow independence and confidence.
Safety skills are also a huge focus in these settings. Practicing things like staying with the group, responding to their name, recognizing safe adults, and safely navigating public spaces helps ensure individuals are prepared for everyday situations.
ABA in the community is about bridging the gap between learning and living—because true progress happens when skills carry over into the world around us. “

🌿 Something new is blooming at Higher Ground ABA!

We are thrilled to announce a special partnership with Sprout and Bloom at Fox Hollow Farms to bring you our Nature-Based Social Skills Group—a unique experience where the beauty of the outdoors meets the proven principles of ABA.

There is something magical about watching children learn with dirt on their hands and sunshine on their faces. Through outdoor play and exploration, kids will build communication skills, practice turn-taking, and form genuine peer connections in a natural, low-pressure environment.

🌸 The Details:

· Beta Group Launch: April 8th (Ages 3-6)
· Coming Soon: Ages 8-12 (Tentatively June)
· Setting: Fox Hollow Farms
· Led by: Our TLBAs and RBTs in small, intimate groups
· Private Pay: Open to children with or without a formal diagnosis who have sensory or social needs

A Note on Our Beta Group:
As with anything worth building, the first steps are the most exciting. Our April beta group is a chance for a few select Founding Families to join us at the ground level. By starting small, we can remain flexible, responsive, and deeply attentive to the needs of our first participants. Families who join us for this beta launch aren't just enrolling in a group—they are helping us shape and refine this experience to ensure it is absolutely perfect before we expand. We are so grateful to the families ready to pioneer this journey with us! 🌱
