Trauma-Informed Care
Trauma-Informed ABA Therapy
Assent-based, NOT compliance-driven
Every Orchid provider is trained in trauma-informed ABA therapy, and it applies the same way in our academies, in homes, and in schools.
At Orchid, trust, autonomy, and relationship-building come before rigid compliance. Our approach is compassionate, trauma-informed care.
Starting ABA therapy can feel overwhelming. Families choose Orchid because we partner with parents and plan around the whole family.
