About Kaleidoscope ABA
Kaleidoscope Family Solutions (KFS) is privately owned and has been providing services to individuals with disabilities since 2004. Since our inception, KFS has focused on in-home and in-community services that promote the healthy development of children, adults, and families through one-on-one behavioral, educational, and daily-living supports.
KFS helps individuals become independent, integrated and productive members of their community and allows them to lead everyday lives. KFS has grown to become a multi-state provider with over 15 years of experience in the field of disabilities. We have become a leader in this field by focusing on one key principle that distinguishes our services: Person-Centered Treatment.
Starting in 2019 Kaleidoscope ABA Services began providing ABA Therapy treatment in-homes as well as in our centers. The evidence-based history of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy has proven it to be a best practice model used to support and provide effective treatment to individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as well as other behavioral and developmental disabilities. Treatment is provided individually and in small settings to create the most impact and learning opportunities for children.
Helping your child develop independence and grow into adulthood is our whole life. We strive to provide both individual and community support to your family through advocacy, offering free parent support groups and by connecting you with resources beyond our own organization. You will find strength through our local and national network of individuals and families that are part of the Kaleidoscope family and embody the Kaleidoscope ABA Way.
