HUG Center

We help children learn, grow, and live their best life. ABA, speech, OT and more - all in one place. H.U.G.

Caring for a young, neurodivergent child comes with challenges and rewards. We believe all children and their families can thrive with a H.U.G., Haven for Understanding the Growth of children. supports children with autism by helping them to embrace their learning differences and focus on their strengths through behavior therapy. The end goal is to provide the children we serve with the keys to un

lock their highest potential. Our mission is to create a safe and compassionate environment for learning and discovery across all areas of a child’s natural environments. We are dedicated to using a progressive approach to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) along with unique neurodiversity-affirming and strength-based practices to teach each child coping strategies and the skills necessary to navigate the world as best they can.

Just like apples aren’t oranges, autistic kids aren’t neurotypical and that’s not wrong, just different. They have real challenges, real strengths, and they’re not missing anything. They’re just wired in their own way. At HUG Center, we honor those differences and support every child’s unique path.

Let’s rethink eye contact.
Just because a child isn’t looking you in the eyes doesn’t mean they aren’t listening, connecting, or caring. For many autistic children, eye contact can be overwhelming. At HUG Center, we meet kids where they are, focusing on comfort, trust, and true connection, not forced behaviors.

Advocating for your neurodivergent child in school starts with knowing their rights, working with teachers, and finding the right support. Here’s how you can ensure they get the education they deserve.

1, Know Their Rights – Understanding special education laws, such as the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and Section 504, helps you advocate for the services and accommodations your child is entitled to. Schools are required to provide appropriate support, and knowing your rights ensures your child receives the necessary resources.

2. Work with Teachers – Collaborating with educators is key to creating and implementing an effective Individualized Education Program (IEP) or 504 Plan. These plans outline accommodations, modifications, and support tailored to your child’s needs, ensuring they can thrive in the classroom. Regular communication with teachers and school staff helps track progress and make adjustments when needed.

3. Find Support – You don’t have to navigate this journey alone. Connecting with advocacy groups, local parent support networks, and special education organizations can provide guidance, resources, and emotional support. These groups help you understand school policies, connect with experts, and find the best strategies for supporting your child’s learning experience.

Need help navigating the process? Reach out to us at HUG Center, and we’ll guide you in advocating for the best support for your child.
