Who We Are
You want to help your child — so do we. Meet the people behind everything we do at Data Driven ABA.
What Families Tell Us
We often hear stories that are painful, even scary, from families seeking help. These real experiences reflect the daily challenges many parents face. If any of these stories sound familiar, know that you’re not alone — and that change is possible.
“We take our child to the clinic almost every day; we have no idea what the treatment consists of. We have a list of goals like ‘raising social awareness’ and ‘developing empathy,’ but it is not clear how our child will learn them.”
“Tutors come home three times a week. They say he is behaving well, he is improving, and he is happy… but we don’t see any change, and we don’t know how to interact with him.”
“Our child has undergone a specific treatment since the age of 3. Now he is 7, and after 4 years, he still doesn’t speak, doesn’t make eye contact, and plays with the tablet almost all day—alone. They said, ‘He’s autistic; there’s not much to do.’”
“We see our child’s improvements; he has learned new words and games in the past few years, but we wonder if he could improve more or faster.”
Understanding Your Child’s Challenges
We are aware of the challenges your child faces every day. When a child has ASD or another disability, these challenges can be high:
- Lack of communication or interest in others
- Lack of independence, play and sharing skills
- Aggression or self-aggression
- Tantrums, meltdowns, high prevalence of stereotypical behavior, etc.
These difficulties affect not only your child, but also your life and your mood on a daily basis — often leaving you feeling powerless, as if this is simply how things are and nothing can changed.
How We Help
Our goal is to help you and your child solve these problems.
We use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) tools — a well-established approach based on science. Our work is grounded in:
Communication Is Extremely Important
From our point of view, communication will be one of the top priorities when working with your child. How can they live well if they cannot communicate their needs? Needs as basic as going to the bathroom, having a tummy ache, or feeling hungry?
Compliance Matters Too
Another very important goal will be compliance. If your child does not cooperate with adults in any way, it becomes impossible to teach them anything.
It is like in school: the teacher asks the students to sit, look, answer, write, etc. By gradually teaching children to respond to adult guidance, we help them develop more and more essential life skills.
Children have their own needs. We will explore and understand those needs to give each child the best possible learning experience.
What We Reject
Too many times we’ve witnessed pitiful situations — moments where the student’s needs were ignored or mistreated:
- Blaming the student for a learning failure
- Lying to families in order to maintain profits
- Delivering interventions simply because the professional likes them — even if they’re useless to the student
In the field of education and psychology, everything often seems ethereal — just words, ideas, theories and feelings. With such abstraction, everyone — knowingly or not — can end up putting their own interests before the needs of the family.
We don’t want to have anything to do with this.
The Values Behind Our Work
Data Driven
Taking informed decisions, based on solid data.
Integrity
Following ethical guidelines, being proactive, and holding ourselves accountable for any failure.
Transparency
Showing you everything — even if you don’t like it. We openly and honestly convey information as we know it.
Communication
Maintaining consistent communication and constructive feedback as keys to working side by side.
Excellence
Serving you through innovation, continuous improvement and an intense focus on your needs.
Diversity
Making you feel respected, supported, and valued. We firmly reject any form of bias or discrimination.
The Meaning Behind “Data Driven ABA”
Our lighthouse — what guides all our work — is data. That’s why we chose this name.
We don’t carry out interventions at random, guided by sentiment or “common sense.” Instead, we let data lead the way.
Data tell us if what we are doing is useful for the child or if the intervention needs to be substituted or modified.
We believe that using scientific procedures, offering continuous training, and sharing methods and principles with families are essential.
The family is an integral, active part of our work. You’re never left on the sidelines.
Each methodology, each program, each result will be shared with you.
Meet the People Guiding Your Child’s Progress
You can improve the quality of your child’s life by learning how and when to use the right tools.
We’ll share with you evidence-based strategies and the latest research — tools we’ve studied and applied over years of professional practice — to help your child overcome behavioral challenges.

What Families Often Ask Us
Sometimes, families come to us with stories of exhaustion, frustration, and uncertainty. But behind every question, there’s a deep desire to help their child thrive. These are some of the real questions we’ve heard over the years:
“Will they help me solve my son’s problems? He beats people if they contradict him. I’m desperate. He is now 20 years old. Will there ever be anyone who can do something to help?”
“I would love my child to be able to communicate his needs. I wonder if he will ever learn to say a few words… He is already 5 years old.”
“I tried many interventions. I changed many support teachers. I took my son to game activities of various kinds, but nothing seems to be truly effective for him…”
“Is it too late to help my child? Everyone tells me we missed the window… but I can’t stop hoping.”
How We Help Families Like Yours
We can help you overcome the challenges your child is experiencing.
For years, we’ve worked with individuals on the autism spectrum and with other developmental disabilities. We’ve helped families manage behavioral difficulties, navigate complex situations, and apply the tools that lead to real progress.
No behavior, however serious or deep-rooted it may be, is beyond change — it can be replaced with something more functional, positive, and sustainable.
With the right strategies, grounded in behavioral science and tailored to your child’s needs, even challenges that have persisted for years can improve.

The Meaning Behind Our Unicorn
You may be wondering why we’ve chosen a unicorn as our logo.
Unicorns are fantasy creatures — they don’t exist.
That’s exactly why we chose Mr. Unicorn as our symbol: he’s our friendly enemy.
He represents all those widespread beliefs and clichés that lack scientific evidence and have no connection to reality.
He also stands for all the so-called ‘methods’ and unscientific procedures marketed as solutions, often at a high price, but that produce little or no meaningful results.
We are Data Driven! We don’t ride unicorns — we ride data.
We rely on scientific methods, not comforting narratives or “common sense”. We want to produce concrete improvements — not reassuring words.
