Did you know March is National Developmental Disabilities Awareness Month? 🧡

This observance was established in 1987 by President Ronald Reagan to promote awareness, inclusion, and opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities to live, work, and participate fully in their communities.

Autism Spectrum Disorder is one type of developmental disability that can affect communication, social interaction, and behavior. According to the CDC, about 1 in 31 children in the United States is diagnosed with autism.

Evidence-based services such as Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy help individuals build communication, social, and daily living skills that support independence and confidence.

This month reminds us of the importance of creating supportive and inclusive communities where every individual has the opportunity to thrive.

Yesterday, Our very own Scott Lepley, Chief Director of Behavioral Developmental Services, spoke to a Human Ecology class at Louisiana Tech University in Ruston. 🐾
❤️💙

Scott talked with students about what Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA therapy, looks like in everyday life. He shared how ABA therapy helps individuals build social skills, daily living skills, and independence, while also highlighting how important caregivers are in supporting long term success.

Scott is passionate about helping people build meaningful careers in ABA therapy. He shared why our Pathways Program at Family Solutions was created and how it provides support, resources, and direction for those who want to grow in this field. By investing in our therapists, we are committed to providing high quality care and continuing to lead with integrity in behavioral health.

We would like to give a big thank you to Amanda Auttonberry for opening her classroom to us and for the hospitality shown while we spent time with her students. We truly appreciate the opportunity to connect and share more about the work we do.

Have you seen Barbie’s new line of dolls focused on inclusion and representation? 👀✨

We love seeing intentional efforts like this that highlight neurodiversity and understanding 💙🧩
When representation is done thoughtfully, it helps build acceptance and reminds children that differences are something to celebrate.

Here at Family Solutions, we’re proud to support inclusive, strengths-based approaches that honor every individual. Join us in celebrating representation that truly matters.

The holidays have a way of flipping routines upside down. One minute everything feels structured and predictable and the next it’s new toys everywhere, leftover snacks, and wondering what day it is 😅
That post holiday adjustment is real for kids and families.

December 1–26 🎁 routines in place, skills growing
December 27–31 🧦 schedules off, expectations fuzzy, fueled by cheese 🧀

Our ABA clinics help children and families rebuild routines, strengthen skills, and navigate transitions with consistency and support when life feels a little out of sync.

🎄💚 How the Grinch Used ABA Therapy to See Christmas Differently 💚🎄

The Grinch didn’t change overnight, and he didn’t change by accident.
Through an ABA-informed lens, his story shows us what meaningful behavior change really looks like: supportive environments, positive behavior recognition, small steps forward, learning by watching others, and strong social connection.

✨ When environments change, behavior can change.
✨ When positive behaviors are recognized, they grow.
✨ When progress is supported step by step, big change becomes possible.
✨ When kindness is reinforced and connection is built, change can last.

At Family Solutions, we believe behavior change is not about punishment, it’s about understanding, support, and creating opportunities for success. Just like the Grinch, growth happens when individuals are met with encouragement and belonging.

💚 Because positive change can stick, and everyone deserves the chance to grow.

🎉 Celebrating 18 Years of Family Solutions 🎉

Eighteen years ago, Family Solutions Counseling Center began with humble roots as a single counseling practice. Today, that vision has grown into multiple locations, diverse service lines, and care that now crosses state lines. From those beginnings to where we stand now, the journey has been extraordinary. ✨ The best is yet to come.

👏🏼One milestone cannot happen without the other. Happy work anniversary to our founder, Dr. Scott Shelby, PhD, LPC-S, LMFT-S. His vision, dedication, and leadership made Family Solutions possible, and every step forward is built on the foundation he created. 🫶🏻

Here’s to 18 years of impact, growth, and care 🚀 The future is still unfolding, and we are excited for what comes next.
