Expanding What’s Possible in ABA Therapy
Center for Social Dynamics helps individuals and families navigating autism and other behavioral conditions make meaningful progress through personalized, research-backed ABA therapy. Building on more than a decade of experience, we developed Beyond Breakthrough ABA™, our approach to making care more personal, connected, and responsive to the everyday realities of the people we serve.
Our Story
Born From Belief, Growing With Purpose
CSD began in response to a need.
In 2012, a small team with a big mission began serving families in Northern California who otherwise had no access to ABA care. That all-hands-on-deck spirit of service, no matter the challenge, still pulses through everything we do.
We’ve grown up since then. Today, we support thousands of individuals and families across California and seven additional states. Along the way, we’ve continued to push ABA forward by expanding how and where care can happen.
That evolution has led to Beyond Breakthrough ABA™, our approach to making high-quality care more personalized, connected, and responsive to everyday life.
Our approach to therapy is more advanced than ever, but what drives us hasn’t changed: seeing the possibilities in every learner, understanding the needs of every family, and helping both thrive.
Our Approach
What Great Care Looks Like to Us
Great care starts with great clinicians. At CSD, experienced behavior technicians and BCBAs bring together research, clinical expertise, and human understanding to shape each learner’s care. With strong clinical oversight and support behind them, they can make thoughtful decisions, adapt as needs evolve, and help families navigate the everyday moments that matter most.
From immersive virtual experiences to tools that help families and clinicians stay connected, we’re always exploring new ideas and technology that can make care more engaging, connected, and accessible. Because at CSD, innovation isn’t about technology for technology’s sake. It’s about finding better ways to support the people we serve while keeping human connection at the heart of care.
Joy and connection can open the door to deeper engagement in learning. That’s why we build around what each learner loves, from favorite themes and interests to activities that capture their attention. And we carry that thinking across how and where learning happens, thoughtfully blending approaches and environments to keep care engaging, relevant, and connected to everyday life.
Our Care Model
Beyond Breakthrough: Our Signature Approach to ABA
Beyond Breakthrough ABA™ brings together research-backed methods, real-world practice, immersive virtual experiences, and caregiver partnership in a right-sized program built around each learner: what they need, how they learn, and what they love.
Learning can happen at home, in our centers, at school, and virtually, with each environment offering different opportunities to practice skills that support greater confidence and independence. By thoughtfully connecting those experiences and giving caregivers practical support along the way, Breakthrough ABA helps learning become part of more moments, experiences, and routines in everyday life.
Our Values
What Keeps Us T.R.U.E.
Beyond every program we build and every decision we make are four values that keep us grounded in why we’re here: Transparency, Respect, Understanding, and Excellence. They shape how we serve, how we work together, and how we move our field forward.
T
Transparency in the work that we do and the actions we take to achieve our mission. We are ethical and honest in our business and relationships.
R
Respect for all and the value that everyone brings towards accomplishing our mission. Everyone at CSD is valuable, and together we are greater than the sum of our parts.
U
Understanding through tolerance, cooperation, and empathy in the pursuit of our mission. We never lose sight of who we are, the people we serve, and our purpose and meaning.
E
Excellence in our drive, passion, and commitment to our mission. CSD will always do what it takes to deliver the best, leave no one behind, and champion our cause.
"We are the support system for the caregiver who feels alone, the advocate for the misunderstood child, and the career partner for the clinician who wants to maximize their impact." - Kelly Bozarth, CEO
Building Partnerships for Better Care
Great care doesn’t happen in isolation. We bring kids, caregivers, and clinicians together, creating the support and partnerships needed to make progress possible.
The Caregiver
You know your child best. We listen, respect your priorities, and help you feel confident supporting your child through their therapy years and beyond.
The Learner
Care should happen with you, not to you. We create space for each learner to have a voice, make choices, and experience learning in ways that feel engaging, respectful, and fun.
The Clinician
Great care starts with great clinicians. CSD creates a place where clinical talent and creativity can blossom, empowering care teams to do their best work for every learner and family while helping move the field forward.
