Want to go to the Alabama Autism Conference but don’t want to go alone?

The Autism Parent wants you to sit with them! They are an amazing resource for families like ours. Go check out their page for more resources (like summer camp sign ups) and support options!

🩵Conferences give us the tools to better support our families and ourselves, but going alone can feel intimidating and overwhelming. So let’s do this together! 🫱🏽‍🫲🏾

We’ll be at the Alabama Autism Conference in Tuscaloosa, AL on February 27th. COME SIT WITH US!

Let us know you’re planning to attend by scanning the QR code or using the link below. We look forward to connecting with the TAP community!

We love showing off our clients but without dedicated teams, those incredible moments of growth wouldn’t be possible.

Connect ABA was built for employees like these (and those who aren’t pictured): people who show up every day determined to make a real difference in the lives of children and their families.

Just like we reinforce our clients, we believe in reinforcing our staff, too 💙

Our Gadsden team was treated to a holiday party in the VIP room at Back Forty Gadsden complete with dress-up, Secret Santa, football on multiple screens for plus-ones, a surprise visit from the Grinch, lots of laughs and food, and plenty of baby Clara love.

Meanwhile, our Birmingham team voted for an in house game day celebration to mark ONE YEAR of our Birmingham location. Taco Mama catered, musical cups got very competitive, and we confirmed once again that the girls stick together - even in friendly competition.

Different cities, different celebrations — same heart, same mission, same incredible team.

We are so proud to do this work alongside you 🤍

Holiday season at Connect ABA looked a little like this ❄️

Snowball fights, dress-up days, scavenger hunts, a little Grinch energy, Santa visits, and lots (and lots) of sweets.

We can’t wait to see what 2026 has in store for us. 💙

This week reminded us how powerful pretend play really is. Our clinics are full of tiny professionals - dentists, vets, doctors, chefs, astronauts… you name it. Every day, they’re practicing the skills that will carry them into their next steps.

Functional pretend play is at the core of childhood development, and in ABA it becomes a space for language, independence, social learning, and problem-solving to bloom.

We can’t help but feel excited for the future. These are the chefs, doctors, and community leaders we’ll all be proud to know one day. 💙

Today, and every day, we have so much to be thankful for.

We are so grateful to be part of these children’s lives, to build real relationships with our families, and to work alongside a team that pours their whole hearts into these kids every single day.

Happy Thanksgiving from us🍁🧡

🧠 Adult Autism Evaluations Now Offered at the University of Alabama Psychology Clinic

Are you wondering if you may be on the autism spectrum? The University of Alabama Psychology Clinic is now offering comprehensive, neuro-affirming autism evaluations for adults (18+).

This new service is designed to provide clarity, support, and a better understanding of your neurodivergent identity in a respectful and affirming environment.

If you or someone you know has been considering an evaluation, this could be a meaningful next step toward self-knowledge and support.

💙 Please reach out to the UA Psychology Clinic for more information or to schedule an appointment.

Clinic #3 is open. And our hearts are full.

9 months later - same joyful play, same favorite activities, same sweetness… just a little taller and a whole lot more confident.

These two were with us on Day 1 in Homewood; and today, they helped us open our Hoover clinic.

Watching all of our clients grow, build trust, find their voice, and carry confidence into new spaces is one of the greatest privileges of our work.

We get to play, we get to learn, we get to grow - and most importantly, we get to connect.

Side by side. Step by step. Clinic to clinic. 💙

Our Gadsden crew had an un-BOO-lievable time at our Trunk or Treat last week! 👻💜 We had such a great turnout (and an even better time) that it deserved its own post! Huge thanks to our families and staff for making it such a fun and festive afternoon full of smiles, candy, and creativity! 🎃✨

🎃Spirit Week 2025 Photo Dump🎃

We wore jammies, practiced science (madly), got as wacky as humanly possible, threw it back for retro day, showed off our favorite costumes, and somehow ended up as trolls one day - hair everywhere, of course.

Gadsden decorated trunks, Birmingham decorated doors, and both clinics went all in. Our staff and clients brought the color, the chaos, and the heart every single day.

We’re tired, sugared up, and so proud of this crew! 💙
