We’re Committed to Helping Kids with Autism Succeed in All Aspects of Life
At JoyBridge Kids, we can help your child with their unwanted behaviors including:
What is Joyful ABA Therapy?
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy is founded from behavioral science and is utilized to teach necessary developmental skills and reduce dangerous or socially inappropriate behaviors, like some of the ones mentioned above. Your child’s sessions are filled with their favorite toys, activities, and engaging play with adults they know and trust. Our clinicians, who have a 1:1 ratio to learners, adjust their teaching strategies and interventions to fit the unique needs and preferences of each child to provide game changing results you can’t get anywhere else.
Does your child need more than ABA Therapy?
No Worries! If your child needs help with speech, occupational therapy, feeding therapy, and more,
we have several different types of therapists on staff at every location to meet all of your child’s needs!
Occupational Therapy
Our occupational therapists are amazing! They can help your child improve motor development and movement, adaptive skills, self-regulation, and social participation. Whether its help with potty training, eating, doing every tasks, stopping stimming, or anything in between, JBK has you covered!
Speech Therapy
Once our children can communicate their wants, needs, and frustrations, it opens up their world in such a positive way. Our JBK SLPs (Speech-Language Pathologists) will work with your child one-on one to focus on language and communication, address feeding skills, and build social skills.
Parent/Caregiver Training
Parental support and understanding how to interact with your child is vital for your household. We teach parents 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.

Coming to Joybridge was the best decision we ever made for our daughter. She got so much out of her time there and I can’t recommend them enough
This place was very clean and welcoming. From the first second I stepped in the door everyone had great attitudes and was so nice. Couldn’t ask for a better place for your kids.
The BCBAs here are incredibly compassionate and always prioritize the kids’ needs. They use assent-based therapy and make learning fun through play
Searched months for the right place and JBK Henderson checked all the boxes. Staff was extremely friendly and you could tell they cared about their work!
The new clinical director and staff there are amazing, I highly recommend this center.
The Director and staff won me over! They are truly dedicated to the children and it is obvious. They have the experience, compassion and patience with the children that I haven’t seen anywhere else.
I cannot speak highly enough of the entire staff at JBK. Ivey has gone above & beyond for my sweet girl since they opened. It has been a complete game changer for our family.

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.

Our main therapy practice is joyful ABA Therapy! However, your child may need additional services that include help with communication, feeding, potty training, etc. Because of this, we also offer Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy, all in one location!
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.
