Autism 2 Awesome is a transformative initiative dedicated to empowering families navigating the challenges of autism. Founded on the belief that every child, regardless of their unique needs, deserves the opportunity to thrive, this program specifically supports parents and guardians of children with autism spectrum disorders and related challenges. With a focus on children aged 3 and up, Autism 2 Awesome offers a range of programs designed to unlock each child's extraordinary potential through personalized coaching, skill-building courses, and community engagement. The approach emphasizes resilience and neurodiversity, encouraging families to celebrate their children's strengths while providing them with practical strategies for daily success. What sets Autism 2 Awesome apart is its commitment to fostering strong family partnerships, as well as the involvement of dedicated professionals like Mr. Brooks, who brings a wealth of experience and genuine passion for supporting children with special needs. With low student-to-teacher ratios and specialized resources tailored to meet diverse needs, this initiative not only transforms lives but also cultivates an inclusive community where every child can flourish.

We provide center based and in home/school based services. We are an assent based program. Meaning we are play based. We are also a multi disciplinary program and offer speech, occupational and Social emotional services.

Bloom Behavior provides behavior services for individuals with developmental and/or intellectual disabilities, their families, and the community. We provide services in-home and in the community. We are different from traditional ABA services because BCBAs provide all services and we implement a low dosage model (e.g., behavior therapy recommendations are usually 1-4 hours per week).
