Meet Our Founder

Sam Deshpande witnessed firsthand the meaningful impact that Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy can have on a child with autism through her own autistic son's experience with ABA services. Growing up with an older brother who has intellectual disability, also provided her with a deep and personal understanding of the unique strengths, challenges, and support needs of individuals with developmental disabilities. These experiences inspired Sam to dedicate her career to helping children with autism reach their full potential through compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy.

Why Stepping Stone ABA?

At Stepping Stone Behavioral Services, we believe that every child deserves a foundation built on understanding, respect, and support. Our journey began with a simple commitment to providing early intervention that honors the unique strengths, developmental needs, and individuality of every child and family we serve. Guided by the neurodiversity-affirming ABA philosophy of treatment, we focus on helping children build meaningful skills that enhance independence, communication, and quality of life while respecting who they are. We are dedicated to creating a nurturing environment where growth is celebrated, differences are valued, and every milestone is a step toward a brighter future.
