About Helping Hands Child Care — Alps Road Suite 70

Helping Hands was created to support families in finding balance while raising a child with special needs. We are a locally owned and operated company that is invested in being a part of the Athens Area Community. We believe therapy should be collaborative, comfortable, and effective—which is why we bring high-quality ABA services directly into the home. By meeting children where they feel most secure, surrounded by their favorite people and things, we help them learn and grow in ways that naturally generalize across environments.

In-home therapy also allows our team to adjust environmental factors so daily life flows more smoothly. From using visuals around the home to restructuring a morning routine, we tailor strategies that reduce challenges and create lasting improvements in families.

We also understand the trust it takes to place your child in someone else’s care. Unlike traditional models where parents drop their children off at a therapy center, Helping Hands ensures that parents remain present and engaged throughout the process. With our approach, families can feel confident knowing that they are part of every step—and that their child is learning in a safe, supportive environment designed to help them thrive.
