Who We Are Elevated Kids is a BCBA-owned company and a premier ABA/NDBI provider in the Greater Tri-State Area that is expanding to provide Occupational Therapy (OT) services. We specialize in a naturalistic, developmental approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and early intervention services for toddlers and young children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder and developmental delays. Elevated Kids is driven by compassion, integrity, and a strong commitment that each child and family deserves the absolute best care.

What We Do Elevated Kids is a family-focused, collaborative team of professionals delivering the most effective developmental, behavioral, and now occupational therapy services available for toddlers and young children diagnosed with Autism.

Research shows that best practice for early childhood intervention includes services that are:

Implemented in the child’s natural setting

Developmentally appropriate

Parent-coached and family-centered

Individualized to meet each child’s unique needs

At Elevated Kids, all early intervention services—including OT—are provided in the child's natural environment (home, preschool, and community settings). Our team works collaboratively across disciplines to ensure each child receives highly coordinated, child-centered care.
