Research-Backed ABA Therapy, Designed Around Your Child

Beyond Breakthrough ABA™ thoughtfully blends in-person, virtual, and other approaches into one personalized ABA care plan built around your child and family. And with guidance and support for caregivers along the way, families can build confidence and help learning continue between sessions.

Research-Backed Approach

There’s no cookie-cutter ABA at CSD. We take the time to understand your child, what matters to your family, and what will realistically work in your everyday life. Our approach draws on both academic and community-based research, so your child’s program reflects not only what research tells us, but what works in the real world. And you can feel confident their care is grounded in current clinical best practices.

Of course, research is only as meaningful as how it’s put into practice. Experienced Behavior Specialists and BCBAs bring that research to life in your child’s care, with clinical oversight from CSD’s Board of Clinical Quality.

Care That Evolves

The right care starts with understanding where your child is today. We use comprehensive assessment, including CSD’s proprietary BLAST assessment, to understand your child’s individual needs and thoughtfully shape the starting point for their care.

Then we keep learning. We continuously measure your child’s progress and adapt their program as they build new skills, reach milestones, and their needs evolve. That means adjusting not just what your child is learning, but how, where, and how much support they receive along the way.

Real-Life Learning

Some things are best learned by doing. And because life happens in all kinds of places, CSD offers ways to learn at home, in our centers, out in the community, and virtually. Your child can build and practice meaningful skills through real interactions, experiences, and routines, while we thoughtfully bring together the settings that work best for your child and your family.

And with skilled, supportive clinicians in your corner, your family has a trusted partner to turn to for guidance, fresh perspective, and help navigating everyday challenges.

Technology With Purpose

Technology should strengthen human connection, not replace it. That’s why CSD invests in tools that make learning more engaging, extend support beyond sessions, and make it easier for families and clinicians to stay in touch.

Immersive ABA Sessions: More than a video call. Live 1:1 sessions bring your child and clinician together through interactive games, activities, and experiences.
Virtual Reality Skills Practice: Practice real-world situations safely before experiencing them in everyday life.
Starship Caregiver App™: Personalized coaching and resources to help you support your child and share what you’re seeing between sessions.
CSD Connect™: Secure messaging, scheduling, and progress tracking make it easier to stay connected with your child’s care team.

Caregivers Are Part of the Team

You know your child in ways no one else can. That perspective belongs at the table, alongside the clinical expertise of your child’s care team. We listen to what you’re seeing, share what we’re learning, and work together to make care more meaningful and relevant to your child and family.

And we give you practical strategies and guidance that make sense for your life. The goal isn’t to turn every moment into therapy. It’s to help you feel more confident supporting your child between sessions and in everyday life.

Case Study

Beyond Breakthrough ABA in Action

Five elements are at the heart of every Beyond Breakthrough ABA™ program. But how they come to life depends on the child. Here’s one example of what that can look like.

“It’s very assent based and they are not at all interested in training the autism out of him. I really enjoy our BCBA and find my parent only meetings with her especially beneficial.”
