Family Testimonials
Our family has been working with Propel for just over a year, and the changes/progress we have observed in our son (Otis, 4.5 yo) are absolutely incredible.
The goals put in place are super clear and tailored to Jacob’s specific needs. They are established based on feedback from the RBT’s, our nanny’s, teachers’ and anyone with direct interaction with our child which makes them very comprehensive.
We couldn’t be happier with Otis’s team – we’re so grateful to have found Propel and have them supporting us through the journey of learning how to best support and advocate for Otis.
Our BCBA and RBTs really feel like a part of our family and Otis completely adores them. Most importantly, they embrace, celebrate and bend to who he is and what he needs, rather than asking him to assimilate to their outcomes or objectives.
Our BCBA and RBT are extremely communicative and knowledgeable, and they are a true extension of our family.
While an autism diagnosis came as a relief as we finally have many questions answered and we understand our son better, it also flipped our world upside down and we didn’t know which direction to go. Ryan was with us the entire way and assembled the right team to address Jacob’s needs.
Our son recently graduated out of developmental speech, is making huge strides in his ability and desire to socialize with peers, and is really beginning to harness the potential of his neurodivergent ‘super powers’.
