Heart of the Village ABA

Trauma-informed ABA combines the science of behavior with the compassion of trauma awareness. It’s about supporting growth and learning in a way that feels safe, respectful, and empowering for every individual.

Instead of asking “How do we change this behavior?” we ask, “What is this behavior trying to communicate?”

A trauma-informed ABA approach means we:
✨ Create emotional and physical safety for clients
✨ Build trust and connection before demands
✨ Use consent-based, least intrusive teaching methods
✨ Empower clients with choices and autonomy
✨ Focus on collaboration, not compliance
✨ See the whole person — not just the behavior

When ABA is trauma-informed, therapy becomes more than teaching new skills — it becomes a path toward healing, confidence, and connection. 💛

The ABA world can be scary.

Your child gets a diagnosis. You’re told to look for ABA therapy. Then, the stories start —
“My child was traumatized by ABA.”
You hope to find a “good” company. You wait months, sometimes years… only to be told your child needs 40 hours a week and that they won’t support them unless you accept all hours.

That’s exactly why I founded Heart of the Village ABA.

I was tired of working for companies that saw children as numbers.
Tired of being told there’s only one way to do things.
Tired of feeling like compassion had no place in therapy.

At Heart of the Village ABA, we do things differently.
We are rooted in compassion, understanding, and genuine care.
I know every team member, every client, every family member by name — and I stay involved in the moments that truly matter. The moments that pivot lives and inspire growth.

💛 If you’re searching for a company that values your child as more than a number — that honors your family’s story — welcome .
We are honored to walk this journey with you.
