The Inspiration Behind Colorful Minds ABA

The inspiration for Colorful Minds ABA stems from Eboni’s desire to provide access to services in areas that were often overlooked and underserved. She recognized the need to bring awareness to families new to autism, helping them navigate available resources and support with compassion and understanding.

Eboni envisioned a practice that would transform traditional ABA therapy into something colorful, dynamic, and life changing. Her goal was to make learning fun and impactful, creating experiences that children would never forget while empowering families to feel as though they had gained an extension of their own family in Colorful Minds ABA.

At Colorful Minds ABA, every therapy plan is tailored to meet the child where they are, blending play-based strategies with individualized goals to ensure progress feels natural and enjoyable. Beyond milestones, Eboni’s mission is to foster connection, independence, and confidence, not only for children but for their families as well. By focusing on collaboration between families, schools, and communities, she has created a practice that prioritizes growth, trust, and joy.
