Stepping Forward LBA
Who we are
Stepping Forward LBA is a small, one-of-a-kind agency offering dedicated, personalized Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for neurodivergent children. We specialize in working with children on the autism spectrum or facing other developmental challenges, providing support in the home, at school, and in the community.
We pride ourselves on a compassionate, individualized approach—meeting each child exactly where they are and honoring the fact that no two journeys are the same. The name Stepping Forward was chosen with intention, reflecting our mission: to guide and support every child to confidently take steps toward growth, independence, and well-being.
We begin by assessing each child’s unique strengths and challenges, then design a tailored curriculum to build the communication, social, self-help, and cognitive skills they need to succeed both academically and in daily life. Our approach addresses the whole child, making learning both fun and meaningful, while supporting the family’s goals and concerns for their child’s overall well-being.
