Celebrating 5 Years of Growth at Reach Behavior and Development Center
Five years ago, Reach Behavior and Development Center began with a clear vision: to provide exceptional, individualized care to children with autism and their families. Today, as we celebrate this milestone, we’re reflecting on how far we’ve come, not just in size, but in impact, innovation, and the meaningful progress we’ve witnessed in the lives of those we serve.
This year’s theme, “Reach is Growing,” captures our journey. Growth isn’t just about expansion, it’s about deepening our commitment to excellence, broadening our reach, and continuously improving to meet the needs of every child and family who walks through our doors.
Our Foundation: A Commitment to Compassionate Care
Reach Behavior and Development Center was founded on the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to thrive. From the beginning, our approach has been child-centered, family-focused, and grounded in evidence-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). What started as a small but passionate team has grown into a thriving center, thanks to the trust of the families we serve and the dedication of our clinicians.
How Reach Has Grown Over 5 Years
1. Expanding Our Reach
What began as a small location has grown into a larger, more adaptable space designed for children to thrive.
2. Building a Team of Experts
Our clinicians are the heart of Reach. Over the past five years, we’ve carefully grown our team to include Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), Registered Behavior Technicians (IBT/RBTs), Speech Language Therapists, and Occupational Therapists who share our dedication to transformative care. Through ongoing training and collaboration, we ensure our team remains at the forefront of best practices.
3. Evolving Our Services
As the field of ABA advances, so do we. We’ve expanded our programs to include:
- Early intervention for young learners
- School-based/School Readiness support to help children succeed in educational settings
- Parent and caregiver training to empower families with strategies for lasting progress
4. Strengthening Community Connections
Growth isn’t just about what happens inside our centers, it’s about building partnerships that support the broader autism community. We’ve collaborated with schools, healthcare providers, and local organizations to create a network of resources for families. Through workshops, outreach, and advocacy, we’re working to promote autism awareness, acceptance, and inclusion.
The Heart of Reach: Our Families’ Success Stories
None of our growth would be meaningful without the trust and partnership of the families we serve. Every milestone, whether it’s a child’s first words, improved social interactions, or greater independence, reinforces why we do what we do.
Looking Ahead: The Future of Reach
As we celebrate five years of growth, we’re also looking to the future. Our vision is clear: to continue expanding, innovating, and setting the standard for exceptional ABA and developmental care. In the years ahead, we’re committed to:
- Reaching more families through expanded services and locations
- Investing in our team’s expertise to ensure the highest quality care
- Advocating for autism awareness and fostering inclusive communities
