FAQs
Autism is a “neurological developmental” disability, meaning it impacts brain development and growth, develops early in life, and is a chronic condition. Autism is usually evident in children before the age of three.
There is no cure for autism and no medication to prevent or reverse the condition. Unfortunately, some people claim to have cures through obscure remedies such as very restricted diets or interventions with animals but there is no data or evidence showing the intervention has an impact on reducing the severity of autism or curing it all together.

JoyBridge Kids focuses heavily on the importance and value of intentional, functional caregiver support. We provide education to parents and caregivers to support them in gaining valuable skills to help their children with special needs succeed throughout their daily lives using ABA therapy in the home. This is a vital and foundational part of our therapy services. Our caregiver coaching is individualized to each family’s unique culture, situation, and priorities of need.
We have two main programs: the Early Excellence ABA Program and the After School Achievement ABA Program.
The Early Excellence Program is for children between the ages of 2 to 7 years old. Special needs children in this program typically receive 25-35 hours of ABA therapy per week. In order to meet best practice standards, we strive to implement a minimum of 20 hours per week of ABA therapy with each child in our Early Excellence Program
The After School Achievement Program is designed for school-aged learners who are in need of continued ABA therapy services after starting school for focused-based intervention. Children in this program typically receives between 4 and 10 hours of ABA therapy per week.

ABA Therapy
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy helps your special needs child with skills like communication, play, and learning while reducing behaviors like aggression or pica. Over 30 years of research have demonstrated the effectiveness of ABA therapy for children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Occupational Therapy
If your child needs help with motor skills development, daily life skills, self-regulation, social participation or sensory needs, occupational therapy (OT) may be the right answer. Our therapists specialize in helping kids with autism, and provide individualized assessments and treatment plans.
Parent and Caregiver Coaching
Parental support is vital for children with autism. We teach parents and caregivers how to use basic ABA therapy to help their kids learn skills during normal family routines, like meals and bedtime. We also base training on your family’s unique culture, situation and needs.
