“Twenty-two years ago, fresh out of Rowan University with a psychology degree, Amberly Caballero walked into a Northeast Philadelphia home for what she thought was a routine job interview. Today, she’s the Founder & CEO of Elevated Kids, a pioneering Autism care company serving families across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and Texas. Her journey from that sunlit room to building a comprehensive care model that celebrates neurodiversity reflects her deep commitment to honoring children exactly as they are while empowering families with the tools they need to thrive”🤍

We are so proud to announce that Amberly is a 2025 Philadelphia Family Women of Influence Award Winner!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉

For young children diagnosed with Autism, the marriage of behavioral science and developmental science is the perfect love story 🫶

As children are diagnosed at increasingly younger ages, now as early as 14 months, the approach to Autism Care much match where our children are developmentally. A young child’s brain is rapidly growing in the first few years of life and learns best through the middle of exploration, everyday play, and natural routines with caregivers and trusted adults🤍

Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Intervention (NDBI) takes the best of both worlds! Our ABA gives us the HOW- the effective teaching and measurement of new skills- and our developmental science gives us the WHAT, WHEN, and WHY we are teaching these skills, attuning to the child’s natural learning trajectories, emotional regulation, child-led play, and everyday family routines.

If we use only behavioral principles, we risk missing the child’s developmental readiness and connection. If we use only developmental frameworks, we may not have the systematic tools to individualize and track progress. Together, they are the perfect love story 🫶

Our goal is to inspire a shift beyond rigid, compliance-driven models toward care that honors joy, connection, and the real developmental needs of young children, because, as you all know already at EK, we truly believe every day is a great day to play!🎈

Children with a Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) profile- also more affirmingly understood as Persistent Drive for Autonomy- experience everyday demands, even ones that seem small or routine like “put on your shoes” as a threat response. This isn’t defiance. It’s a nervous system saying, “I need to feel safe and in control.”

It’s important that children with a PDA profile are provided an approach to care that meets them right where they are!

This means:

✨Co-creating safe environments where demands are invitational, not imposed
✨Honoring autonomy as a developmental need, not a reward
✨Using relationship, not control, as a foundation
✨Trusting that avoidance is communication, not opposition
✨And, one of our most powerful tools? PLAY! Play is inherently flexible, choice-based, and low-pressure, making it the perfect bridge to connection for children with a PDA profile.

Through play, kids can:

🪁Explore autonomy safely
🪁Practice co-regulation with trusted adults
🪁Make meaning of their world on their own terms
🪁Access joy and creativity without external demands

At Elevated Kids, we follow the child’s lead, using curiosity, compassion, and play to build trust. Because when autonomy is honored and relationship is prioritized, children feel safe and regulated to connect, and learning is limitless! 🤍💫

For more information on our Elevated Play program at Elevated Kids, or if you have questions about PDA, contact us today at elevatedkids.com ✨

Why Autism in Girls Is Often Missed and Why Early Diagnosis Matters 🤍

Autism can often look different in girls than in boys, but for a long time, most of the research and diagnostic tools were based mainly on boys. We see that our girls are great at “masking”, meaning they watch and copy others to “fit in”, even though this can be really exhausting or confusing for them. Our girls might seem social on the outside, but struggle inside with complex things such as understanding friendships, managing big emotions, or coping with changes.

Girls are more likely to be seen as just shy, anxious, sensitive, or overly social. Because of this, girls are often misdiagnosed or diagnosed much later.

But early diagnosis can make a huge difference! It helps girls:

🦋Build self-awareness- so they can understand and embrace how their mind works- knowing why they think and feel differently can boost their self-esteem and reduce feelings of loneliness or shame.

🦋Access the right support- meaningful support can help our girls with navigating friendships, emotional regulation, learning, and mental health.

🦋Grow with confidence- knowing they’re not broken, just wired differently- and that’s okay, helping to prevent later struggles such as anxiety, depression, or burnout as they grow up.

🦋An early diagnosis gives parents the insight and tools to support their daughter’s unique strengths and needs.

At Elevated Kids, we offer Autism Evaluations for children as young as 14 months, so families don’t have to wait for support 🤍

Early diagnosis is the first step in understanding how each child’s unique brain learns best and opens the door to be able to access appropriate early intervention when the brain is rapidly growing and learning ✨

Our caring diagnostic team guides parents every step of the way, ensuring little ones get access to an early diagnosis and developmentally-appropriate care without the wait. Contact us today at elevatedkids.com for more info!
