History

In 1995, Heather Beam, Director and Board Certified Behavior Analyst began working with children with autism and developmental disabilities and their families using the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in 1995. Nine years later, Capable Kids was established and three employees were hired to provide home-based ABA sessions out of their suitcases. As the need increased, Capable Kids opened the first center in 2004 and added an ABA center based program. Capable Kids continued to grow and moved to the current location in 2010.

Capable Kids uses the principle of Applied Behavior Analysis which research has shown is the most effective evidence based treatment for autism. We strive to be a place where every child’s potential is cultivated through a positive learning environment and systematic teaching of meaningful skills, building upon each child’s strengths and motivation.
