Big feelings are not a sign that your child is being difficult. They are a sign that something feels hard.

Understanding starts with noticing that connection. Validation starts with letting them know they are seen.

Learn simple ways to validate your child's feelings and support their emotional development.

For Presidents’ Day, we asked our clients a big question: “What would you do if you were president for a day?”

Today we’re celebrating 11 years of Precision ABA!

On Friday, one of our long-time clients came in excited that it was our birthday. Honestly, even we had forgotten! “In two more days, Precision ABA is 11!”

This morning, one of our very first clients sent a voice memo to wish us a happy birthday too.

Eleven years in, these connections matter. That means more to us than anything. That’s the power of community. We’re grateful you’re part of ours.

Parenting can feel overwhelming at times — opportunities like this remind families they’re not alone.

When your child is having a hard moment, they do not need you to fix it. They need you to see it.

"That looks really frustrating." "I can see how disappointed you feel."

These simple words help children feel understood. And when children feel understood, they settle.

This week, try it once. Notice what they are feeling and give it words. Then watch what happens.

Big feelings are a normal part of childhood. Frustration, sadness, anger, excitement, disappointment. For many children, emotions show up quickly and intensely, often before they have the skills to explain what is happening inside.When that happens, behavior becomes communication.Crying, yelling, sh...

We're proud to have joined the caucus and are looking forward to creating change and making Illinois a place that celebrates neurodiversity and provides meaningful support.

Tracking your family's progress doesn't mean documenting everything or feeling guilty when you miss a day.

It's just paying attention. A weekly check-in. A jar of wins. A calendar with checkmarks. Simple ways to see what's working.

When our kid has a meltdown, it sticks with us. When we miss a goal or skip a routine, we feel it.But when...
