Helping children with ASD and their parents grow, together.
Kinfolk ABA is more than just an ABA therapy provider. We’re a partner to parents and a trusted support system, dedicated to helping families support their children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as they grow, learn, and connect with the world around them.


But with the right support system, it can
be endlessly rewarding.
At Kinfolk ABA, we're committed to
being there for you in every which way,
so you can help your child in every which way.

We act as a true partner, working hand-in-hand with parents and caregivers on the shared mission of helping your child thrive.

By believing in them as strongly as you do – seeking out their strengths, appreciating their gifts, and encouraging them to be all they can be.

Investing in those who help help your child, so they can truly do their best.
It Takes a Village to Raise a Child with ASD
And it takes a team like Kinfolk ABA to raise the standard
of care for children receiving ABA therapy.
Kinfolk ABA takes a holistic, 360° approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Rather than focusing only on therapy sessions, we work to strengthen every part of a child’s support system, including parents, caregivers, clinicians, and educators.
By supporting everyone involved in a child’s care, we help create a consistent environment where children with ASD can learn new skills, build confidence, and thrive in everyday life.
