Neurodiversity Affirming and rooted in compassionate care; we take an approach to supporting children of all neurotypes that is play-based and child-led. Unfurling Littles LLC was created out of a desire to do better for neurodivergent children and create a model of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) that does not cause harm. The only way to move forward, is to look back with open eyes. We are a small Autistic owned company and will stay that way. We are not your average agency and we don't intend to be, we are just a group of humans trying to help other humans.
Yours in service,
Maggie (Owner and Clinical Director)
Our Services
Unfurling Littles LLC is a Licensed Intensive Behavioral Health (IBHS) agency and proud Medicaid provider in the state of Pennsylvania, serving Philadelphia and Montgomery Counties. We are committed to our mission of creating a culture of acceptance that celebrates different neurotypes. Our primary goal will always be to help every child we have the honor of supporting, live a life that is more closely aligned to their values. Our practice is evidence based and abides by the standards outlined by the BACB.
Child Led ABA
Child-led ABA involves following the child’s lead during sessions and supporting their autonomy. Children are actively involved in support planning, and their perspectives are central to decision-making. With this approach, goals are customized to reflect the values, priorities, and needs of each child and family.
​
At Unfurling Littles, we also integrate principles from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), helping children and families clarify what truly matters to them and build flexible, values-aligned skills that support long-term well-being.
​
Because every child’s journey looks different, child-led ABA sessions are highly individualized. A therapist follows the child’s lead, builds connection, observes behavior with curiosity, models behaviors that serve the child’s values, joins and expands play, introduces developmentally and processing-appropriate language, and co-regulates alongside the child.
​
Services can be provided in the home, daycare or school, community settings, or in our preschool-aged clinic, where play-based learning is embedded within a supportive peer environment.
​
All Child Led ABA is billed through insurance.
