How we started…
Megann and Melissa had a dream of improving the lives of children, taking the evidence-based approach of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and delivering services in a way that put the person first, not the label. This dream started to become reality in 2005, when Interactive Kids began offering a limited number of social skills classes along with consultation services to a few local school districts.
Our programming has grown to include diverse programming to serve individuals and their families throughout the lifespan. Treatment of problem behaviors and functionally appropriate skill acquisition, based upon behavior analytic principles, has always been at the core of our mission. Reaching greater numbers of individuals has always been our goal. Through consultation in over 70 school districts throughout the mid-Atlantic region, as well as treatment of individuals who attend our on-site based programs, Interactive Kids brings the highest quality services directly to our clients, their families, and local school districts. Individual and group social skills intervention occurs in homes, schools and our 4 locations. Offering services in these diverse locations enables us to best meet the needs of those receiving services. Through the years, Interactive Kids has expanded the number and types of services offered to the community. Currently, programming consists of counseling services for individuals and their families, outpatient speech-language therapy, vocational programming, early learners programming for those getting ready for school, and many other uniquely tailored services for our amazing clients. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for IK!!
