Our Beginnings

Founders, 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 local school districts. This has now grown to over 70 throughout the mid-Atlantic region, as well as treatment of individuals who attend our on-site based programs. Interactive Kids has four different locations to bring the highest quality services directly to our clients and their families.


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!!
