Solving Autism - Spectrum Academy 7809 Sardis Road, Charlotte, NC 28270

"Words can not express how ABA therapy at the Solving Autism clinic in Fort Mill has helped my daughter and exceeded my expectations! The one star reviews I read on this company have clearly not been clients of this AMAZING group of professionals. This is a privately owned company which in and of itself should tell you the selflessness of the owner. All of the RBT's and BCBA's love working here. This is a place of inclusion and the children are allowed to be themselves. They teach patients that they can shine their light and be exactly who they are by co-existing in this "neurotypical" world. My daughter used to have horrible tantrums, would not allow me to brush her teeth, potty training seemed impossible, she would not keep a hair ties in her hair, would wriggle out of her seatbelt, was not talking, etc. These Registered Behavior Technicians and Board Certified Behavior Analysts have helped her overcome ALL these obstacles and how to maintain independence with LIFE SKILLS! The children have a sensory center, a gym where they can bounce, jump, roll, and swing. They have brought in therapy rabbits, take them to the park to get fresh air and free play, circle time where social skills are enhanced, art is a cornerstone and they have a very creative art teacher! They also have a music session where children can play instruments, vocalize a joyful noise and dance! Alyson, the owner, also hosts monthly parent sessions where we can come together and network, discuss techniques and practices and we the parents can share notes on how we are able to find success at home or resources in the community. I have never met a person as dedicated and passionate about the autistic community than Alyson! She is the most kind and caring person who will meet your child exactly where they are and has the gift to think outside the box and help create individual plans for each patient's unique needs. She encourages her staff to be innovative while maintaining compliance and state laws. There is no one I would trust more with my Autistic daughter than Solving Autism! She feels valued and loved and not only is she potty trained, brushing her own teeth, staying in her seatbelt and having minimal tantrums...but she is now talking and singing...and even finally told me that she loved me. As a mom, there are no words to express what is possible with the right people, talent, resources, and care that Solving Autism brings. "THANK YOU" is an understatement. This company was a God send to our family!!! A+++ Company!!"

"This company has changed the life of my step son. It is wonderful run, with caring therapists and BCBAs who are always looking for the best way to help him and our family succeed! He was making more progress with Solving Autism than in any school environment he had ever been enrolled in including public and private schools in the area. We are happy to have Alyson and this company working with our child!"

"We were introduced to this company shortly after our son was diagnosed with autism at 2 years old, he is now 9. Our son has been working with Alyson and her team for over 7 years. Alyson has dedicated her life to working with kids on the spectrum, and it shows in our son. She has become a huge part of our lives, and through her BCBAs and therapists, our child has achieved more than we imagined possible. They work closely with each family and child and always see the potential we never thought was possible. They have been a bigger support to us than any medical professional in 9 years. We owe each milestone and achievement to Alyson and her team….they are truly amazing. My son LOVES going to the clinic! If you know, love or parent a child with autism this is the place that can support you and help your child achieve at their highest potential. Their love for the autism community is like no other….and we are so lucky to have them in our sons life!"

"STAY AWAY! They mainly use ABA, which has been proven time and time again to be massively abusive to autistic children! They're literally using a puzzle piece as a logo! Your child is different, not broken! Forcing them to act and appear neurotypical is actively harmful. Find therapy that tries to guide them, not change them."

"My son has been with this company since he was 3. I cannot say enough about all the therapists, staff, owner; truly all wonderful, caring, engaged people. My son is nine now and I cannot imagine where we would be without their help. They have helped him tremendously and he is a totally different child. They work tirelessly to ensure that we meet all our goals creatively. The staff is very compassionate about what they do, well trained, as well as creative, caring, and kind. They’ve helped us overcome so many obstacles. I also know that when people have popped in for tours, they always write how clean, organized, and caring the staff is. I would highly recommend this company to anyone looking to help their child."
