About us

A small practice that thinks about your family a lot.

Speech Castle started on the speech therapy side. Families kept needing ABA, too — so we built that. Two services, one team, one set of values about what ABA should look like in 2026.

Family of services

Why we don't make families choose.

Most families who come to us have already been through a few intakes. We try to make this one feel different — one team, one plan, people who actually know each other.

When your child works with us, you have one team that already knows each other — not two clinics figuring each other out as they go. Speech Castle Speech Therapy and Speech Castle ABA are run as one practice, so the SLP and the BCBA share notes and build the plan together.

Plenty of families only ever need one of the two services, and when that's the case, that's all we'll suggest. The reason we built both is so the families who do need both can have everyone in the same room.

How we practice

Evidence-based. Neuro-affirming. Family-centered.

Modern ABA looks really different from the version you might've read about decades ago. We work in the modern version on purpose — and we're explicit about what that means.

Family-centered

Goals come from your family — not a checklist, not making your kid look more typical. You're the expert on your child; we bring tools.

Neuro-affirming

We don't teach masking. Stimming is communication and regulation. We work with how your child's brain is wired, not against it.

Evidence-based

Decades of peer-reviewed research, modern assent-based methods, no aversives. The version of ABA we deliver is built on what actually works.

What that looks like day-to-day: no aversives, no punishment, no goals picked just to make a kid look more "typical". We use reinforcement, environmental design, and antecedent strategies — and we coach you alongside the work.
The team

BCBAs and RBTs who actually like this work.

Small team. Everyone here chose to be here, and we hire that way on purpose.
