Last summer we started working with an 11-year-old who wouldn't even let us come into the room. He would say "no therapy in the room" and completely shut it down. It was tough at first, not gonna lie. But we stuck with the process, focused on building trust, and just took it step by step. As the summer went on, something really started to shift. The pairing clicked, he became more comfortable, and we were finally able to work together. The growth we saw was honestly incredible. From not allowing anyone in, to engaging and making real progress... it was a huge moment for everyone involved. These are the moments that remind us why we do what we do.
Kennedy ABA has been amazing for our family. The therapists are so patient, caring, and really know what they’re doing. Our child has made so much progress since starting in-home ABA, and we feel so supported every step of the way. The team really takes the time to work with parents too and teach us how to help our child succeed. We are very grateful for Kennedy ABA and the difference they’ve made in our lives. ❤️
Kennedy ABA has truly changed our family’s life. Having two children in therapy can feel overwhelming, but the team at Kennedy ABA made everything feel manageable, supportive, and hopeful from day one. The progress we’ve seen in both of our kids is incredible, communication, confidence, behavior, and daily skills have all improved in ways we honestly didn’t think were possible. The therapists are patient, kind, and genuinely invested in our children’s success. Sessions feel purposeful but still fun, and everything is tailored to what our kids actually need in real life. Kennedy ABA doesn’t just work with children, they support the whole family. We’re beyond grateful for the impact they’ve had and can confidently say this has been a life-changing experience for our two kids.
ABA therapy has been a life-changing experience for our family. The progress we’ve seen in communication, behavior, and daily living skills has been incredible. The therapists are patient, knowledgeable, and truly care about the children they work with. Sessions are engaging, individualized, and focused on real-life skills that actually make a difference at home and school. ABA has helped our child gain confidence, independence, and skills we once worried they might never develop. We’re so grateful for the impact it’s had on our family.
We were very very frustrated waiting months for an autism diagnosis appointment, every place we called had insane waitlists. Nights were the worst; my husband and I barely slept, just lying there worrying about our 3-year-old son, replaying every little thing he did (or didn’t do), terrified of what the unknown meant for his future. Then a friend suggested Kennedy ABA. We called, and they were the BESTTTTT, they scheduled his evaluation in just a couple of weeks. From that first phone call, it took only 5 weeks total to get the official diagnosis and kick off in-home ABA therapy right in our living room. No more dragging him to offices or endless waiting. The team was so understanding and quick to act when we needed it most. In-home sessions fit our chaotic life perfectly, and we’re already seeing little wins that give us real hope. If you’re stuck in that endless wait like we were, seriously, call Kennedy ABA. They changed everything for our family. Thank you!! 🙏 ..

BEST THERAPIST IN TOWN..HIGHLY RECOMMENDED..TAKES SUCH GOOD CARE OF ALL THE KIDS..COULDNT BE MORE GREATFUL.
All of my interactions have been positive I would highly recommend Kennedy ABA!
Kennedy ABA has literally saved our family, I’m not even exaggerating I’m sitting here crying typing this 😂 We have a 6 year old big brother who used to hide in his room everytime his little brother (4 with autism) would scream and meltdown for hours. It broke my heart seeing my older boy so scared of his own brother. Then we started with ABA 7 or 8 months ago and oh my god… last week I walked in and they were both giggling building a Lego tower together and my 4 year old goes “look mommy!! I did it with brother!!” clear as day. I full on ugly cried right there on the kitchen floor while the therapist just hugged me ❤️❤️❤️ And the first time he looked me in the eyes and said “mama up please” instead of just crying and pulling my arm?? I had to sit down I was shaking. He says “i love you” now too and gives actual hugs not just leaning in. My older son even asks “when is the fun teacher coming?” because he loves when they come now!! If your kiddo needs help please please call this ABA. They gave me my babies back ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (google needs more stars)
Our pediatrician, Dr. Schneer, strongly recommended Kennedy ABA when we first learned about ABA therapy (we had never even heard of it before). We’re so glad we listened. The BCBA and RBT were amazing, the process was smooth, and while it didn’t happen overnight, we’ve seen real progress over time. We couldn’t be more grateful to both our doctor and Kennedy ABA. 🧩💛
