About EM ABA

Support that grows with every step

EM ABA is a family-centered practice dedicated to providing ethical, evidence-based behavioral support for neurodivergent children and the families who support them. We believe meaningful progress begins with understanding, collaboration, and respect for each child’s individuality.

Our Story

EM ABA was founded with a simple belief: families deserve thoughtful, ethical, and evidence-based support they can trust.

Our work began with listening—listening to parents navigating uncertainty, to children whose needs were often misunderstood, and to communities seeking guidance that respects individuality and dignity. From the beginning, EM ABA has been committed to moving beyond one-size-fits-all approaches.

We focus on collaboration, clarity, and practical support. By combining applied behavior analysis with neurodiversity-affirming and trauma-informed principles, we help families build skills, confidence, and sustainable progress in everyday life.

At EM ABA, our story continues with every family we partner with—one step, one conversation, and one meaningful change at a time.
