Our Story

Children Making Strides was founded on one mother’s passionate dream: to give her son with ASD the support he needed to succeed. Back in 1997 when resources were limited, CMS introduced parents to a novel form of early intervention that was just gaining momentum. Our dedicated professionals have served Massachusetts for over 2 decades since, enabling thousands of children to make strides that were once thought to be impossible.

Recently, we have expanded our services to include families in South Carolina, continuing our mission to provide essential support and resources to even more children and their families.

Our Approach

We believe your child with challenges can thrive with appropriate support.

We understand your experiences and empower you to help your child.

We utilize ABA principles to guide your child’s treatment plans.

Customized care that enables every child to succeed.

The Plan

Following an initial evaluation, we develop a personalized care plan with objectives specific to your child's strengths and needs. Our clinicians utilize Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to work towards these goals and keep you and your insurance provider updated on your child’s progress.

The Method

Our work is based on field-tested data that has proven ABA to be a reliable path to success for children with autism. In one-to-one sessions, children are taught critical skills by breaking them down into manageable steps. This gradual learning process allows them to apply their new skills to other situations and settings.

The Goals

Our treatment programs are tailored to meet individual needs, enabling children to:
Develop speech and language
- Improve fine and gross motor skills
- Increase attention and cognitive abilities
- Enhance activities of daily living
- Build social skills
