Great question! The biggest difference is that Grow Your Happy is led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA)- a highly trained expert in understanding behavior and supporting teaching skills that last. BCBAs use proven ABA strategies (the gold standard for ASD/ADHD support) to create "personalized "plans, not one-size-fits-all advice. BCBA's track what's working (and what is not) with clear steps, so you can see real growth in skills like handling meltdowns, staying focused, or making friends, never forcing "normal". 

We blend expertise, heart, and science to create lasting change, not quick fixes.
