Allow me to introduce Sara, our RLT of the month at our Lafayette center.

Born and raised in Ville Platte, Louisiana, I earned a Bachelor's degree in Human Development and Family Sciences from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette. I was also a proud member of the Ragin' Cajuns cheerleading squad for three years. My experience as an NFL cheerleader for the New Orleans Saints further fueled my passion for performance and teamwork. As an RLT, I have found a role that challenges me, brings me fulfillment, and enables me to make a meaningful impact. I am equally influenced by my clients, who contribute to my personal growth and success. Their resilience, joy, and authenticity are a constant source of inspiration, and I am thankful for the opportunity to work alongside them.

Our center enrolls children at 18 months old who are diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Why should your child start therapy early?

Starting ABA therapy early can make a life-changing difference! Here’s why:

✅ Improves Long-Term Independence – Skills learned early create a foundation for greater independence in school, social settings, and daily life.
✅ Enhances Family Support & Learning – Parents and caregivers receive guidance on how to support their child’s progress, leading to a more structured and positive home environment.
📖 Studies show that early intervention leads to better outcomes in language, social skills, and adaptive behavior. The sooner we start, the greater the impact! Study referenced:

With advances in the field’s ability to identify autism spectrum disorders (ASD) at younger ages, the need for information about the evidence-base for early intervention continues to rise. This review of the ASD early intervention (EI) literature ...
