The IM Approach 

Inspiring Minds: A Modern Approach to ABA

​

At Inspiring Minds, we have redefined Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) around three core principles: individualization, respect, and collaboration.

​​

We move beyond outdated perceptions of rigidity to act as facilitators, partnering with each child to nurture their unique strengths and intrinsic motivation for learning.

​

Our Core Commitments

​​

• We Start Where Your Child Is: We respect every child’s individuality, creativity, and unique way of experiencing the world. This strength-based philosophy benefits all children, and we welcome any family seeking a supportive community where their child can flourish.

• We Learn Together: The journey is mutual. As we guide, we are continually inspired by each child’s perspective and growth.

• We Affirm Neurodiversity: Our practice actively champions neurodiversity, working to dismantle stigma by prioritizing joy, autonomy, and respect over mere compliance.​

​

Our Four-Phase Collaborative Process

​​

Our success is built on a structured, transparent partnership with families and schools.

​

1. Comprehensive Assessment: We begin with a detailed evaluation to build a holistic understanding of your child.

2. Individualized Plan Development: We create a tailored Education Plan (IEP) based on assessment data and integrated insights from parents, caregivers, and (with consent) school teams.

3. Strength-Centered Goal Setting: All therapeutic objectives are anchored in your child’s own motivations, interests, and emerging strengths.

4. Ongoing Coordination & Support: We maintain consistent communication and strategic alignment with your child’s entire support network—family, school, and professionals—to ensure progress and skill generalization across all environments.
