Receiving a diagnosis can feel overwhelming, but it’s also an opportunity to understand your child’s unique strengths. Start by connecting with a provider who sees your child as a whole and celebrates the full beauty of the spectrum. Together, you can create a plan that empowers your child with meaningful skills, independence, and confidence, while honoring your family’s goals.

ABA, or Applied Behavior Analysis, is a scientific, evidence-based teaching methodology used to support children with a diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder. At Somewhere Over the Spectrum, we integrate a variety of teaching strategies within ABA to provide a holistic, whole-child approach, supporting each child’s communication, independence, social skills, and overall development in meaningful, everyday experiences.

A holistic approach means we consider the whole child and the entire family unit, viewing development through multiple lenses to create comprehensive, dynamic programming. This framework allows us to support each child across developmental domains, with the ultimate goal of fostering confidence, growth, and independence.

While more traditional models of care may focus on a single area or domain, our approach honors the beauty of the whole child. We believe that when we shift our perspective to see children in their entirety, their strengths, potential, and individuality become fully visible.

A neurodivergent-affirmative approach recognizes and embraces the unique ways children experience, learn, and interact with the world. Our neurodivergent-affirming approach is rooted in honoring the neurodivergent mind and respecting the many ways individuals process information and experience the world. Through our holistic, heart-centered approach to ABA, we support learning in meaningful, everyday settings, following each child’s innate curiosity as it leads them to explore, connect, and engage with the world around them. We create a path to develop skills that help your child thrive in their own way, nurturing communication, independence, and emotional regulation, all while honoring their autonomy and identity.

Each child’s plan is personalized to their interests, motivations, and goals, making learning engaging and meaningful. Every child begins with a comprehensive assessment, which includes observations and conversations with parents or caregivers to understand their unique strengths and needs. This assessment serves as a roadmap for services, outlining programming across all developmental domains and guiding the support needed for each child to build independence, confidence, communication, social connection, and purpose.

Parent collaboration and involvement are at the heart of our approach. Through regular parent meetings, we partner closely with families to weave strategies, routines, and supports between the home and center, creating a consistent and nurturing environment for each child. By honoring neurodiversity and fostering strong, supportive relationships, we empower families to confidently support their children’s growth.

The right provider ensures your child is seen, understood, and supported as a whole individual. At Somewhere Over the Spectrum, we combine intention, empathy, and a holistic perspective to honor neurodiversity, strengthen relationships, and empower children and families.

Yes! Many families continue in our programs for multiple years, allowing us to adapt and expand support as your child grows and their needs evolve.

We do not have a waitlist as we are unable to provide accurate time frames of the length of time a family may be on our waitlist due to a variety of factors.  Therefore, when a family contacts us, should we not have any openings, we ask that they continue to call back to check back with our center. 

Once we do have a spot and a family calls, then we may talk through their child’s current needs to see if they would be a fit for that specific opening.
