Our mission

Maui Behavioral Therapy offers early intervention autism services through personalized, one-on-one play-based therapy led by a master's level Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). We proudly serve families across Maui, bringing our unique approach directly to your child’s home and community.

Our therapy focuses on skill development, fostering independence, and reducing challenging behaviors, with the ultimate goal of empowering children with autism to thrive. We also provide caregiver consultation, helping families effectively apply ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) principles in daily life, ensuring comprehensive support for your child’s growth.

The power of play

The power
of play

The power of play

Play-based therapy harnesses children's natural motivation and engagement to support learning and development. By incorporating play, therapy becomes enjoyable and effective, helping children generalize skills to real-world situations.

Enhancing Social
Interaction

Autistic children often struggle with social skills. Play-based therapy provides a safe space for practicing sharing, turn-taking, and collaboration, fostering better social connections.

Supporting Communication
Development

Play offers a non-threatening way for autistic children to express themselves. It aids in developing both verbal and non-verbal communication skills, making it easier for them to connect with others.

Fostering Cognitive
and Emotional Growth

Through play, children with autism can explore, problem-solve, and process emotions, promoting cognitive flexibility and emotional resilience.

Initial Consultation

Schedule a phone consultation to discuss your child’s needs and determine eligibility for services.

If eligible, we’ll request an assessment through your insurance. Once approved, we’ll schedule your child’s initial assessment session.

Start Therapy

After the assessment, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan and begin therapy sessions as soon as your insurance gives the green light.
