Mealtime was a major battleground due to extreme food selectivity and texture issues. Having our RBT guide gentle food exploration right at our kitchen table helped my daughter try new foods without crying.

Haircuts used to end in full-blown meltdowns every single time. Our therapist spent weeks at home desensitizing him with fake clippers and small rewards. Took him to the local barber last week and he sat in the chair like a absolute champ! 👏

My son tends to bolt when he gets overwhelmed in public or open spaces. The therapist worked with us directly in our yard and neighborhood on safety cues and boundary awareness. Real-world skills that give us peace of mind!

So thankful for their in-home sessions across the Paterson area. Not having to battle North Jersey traffic multiple days a week to get to a clinic clinic setting has brought so much relief to our household.

Bedtime was an absolute nightmare at our house—literally two hours of screaming every single night. Our BCBA watched how we usually handle things and helped us build a visual routine that actually works. We finally have peaceful evenings again! 🥹
