The Butterfly Effects Difference

Last updated Wednesday, July 18, 2012   |   comments

At Butterfly Effects, ours is a vision that focuses on helping our clients realize lives of achievement, inclusion, and happiness.


Whether we succeed or not is best told in the stories of the families we serve. Through the examples of those families who have already stood at the crossroads of despair and opportunity, other families can learn that with the right support and encouragement, there is no challenge too great to handle.


Making Life Easier for Military Families (watch the video)

"Butterfly Effects has been amazing at adapting to our military life ... they never missed a beat."

Like so many military families raising children with autism, this young couple has had to deal with spontaneous challenges associated with military life, including frequent relocation. Fortunately for them, as a Butterfly Effects client, they are able to continue services wherever they move.  Butterfly Effects is an approved TRICARE / ECHO provider.


What Can Butterfly Effects Do for My Family? (watch the video)

A young couple speaks about how Amanda, the ABA therapist sent to them by Butterfly Effects, has provided their family with a "shining beacon of hope."

Over the last two years, Amanda has helped their son develop essential life skills as well as many of the simple skills that are part of the joy of childhood such as using crayons and riding a bicycle. With Amanda's talent for seeing things "through a child's eyes," she has also helped this couple learn how to understand the needs of their child and learn ways to help promote his growth. Like so many families, they recognize that their child "would not be where he is today without the help of Butterfly Effects."


Hope and Autism: One Mother's Journey (watch the video)

"Autism is a diagnosis, it isn't a destiny." Those are the words of one mom who with the support of Butterfly Effects has come to grips with learning that her twins were different. "Somehow in a minute everything you thought was, isn't." Learn how the tears of sadness have become tears of joy for this family. "I knew my kids were really smart, but they couldn't tell us what they knew. They couldn't tell me they love you. ... It was as if they were saying, I'm in here come find me.  Now we know they are in there.  ... It's the best gift... anyone can have. ... it's going to be okay. ...If you get the right therapies in place, the right support." 


"Butterfly Effects is different because it's personal. ...They make it personal."


"I never found anything as kind, professional and amazing as Butterfly Effects."

A few words from the lead principals in Team Joshua:

"I just wanted to take a moment to let you know how much I appreciate Leah and all she’s done for my son, Joshua, this year. We made the big transition to public school this year and Leah was with us every step of the way. Her knowledge of ABA and previous experience with public schools proved to be invaluable. 

"Leah also has an incredible ability to connect with people. This ability allowed her to quickly establish a positive connection with the school staff. I’ve been amazed at how Leah uses this positive connection to bring about necessary change for Joshua without creating conflict. 

"Leah’s personality and knowledge of ABA make her an outstanding school liaison. I also appreciate Leah for listening to me and taking into consideration any suggestions or concerns I may have about my son’s program.

"I’ve worked with other BCBAs in the past who did not value the mother’s input. It is encouraging to be treated as an equal participant in Joshua’s education and recognized as a subject matter expert on my own child. The consummate professional who is a true expert in her field, I think much of the progress made this year can be attributed to Leah’s guidance and direction.  I am so thankful that she is part of Team Joshua."


When it comes to our loved ones, anything is possible if we meet their needs with special efforts:

  • Efforts as determined and versatile as they are creative and compassionate
  • Efforts informed by the most recent research as well as by love
At Butterfly Effects, we do whatever we can to make and model that effort, but ultimately, it's the families we serve that carry any butterfly effect to positive fruition.
