Specialties
Mindful Behavior Connections LLC is a pediatric therapy practice offering ABA services through a naturalistic, play-based, and relationship-first lens. We specialize in supporting neurodivergent children and their families through a neurodiversity-affirming, polyvagal-informed, and developmentally respectful approach that values regulation, autonomy, and connection.
Our services include comprehensive assessments, focused ABA therapy (2–15 hours per week), social skills groups, inclusive art classes and parent coaching or consultation. We also offer developmental support sessions for infants, toddlers, and their caregivers. We maintain intentionally small caseloads to ensure families receive the attention and support they deserve.
Founded by BCBA Ashley Walls, Mindful Behavior Connections was created to close the gap in services for families seeking flexible, affirming support that honors each child’s nervous system, communication style, and lived experience. Our model integrates nature-based learning, art, play and embedded goals within everyday routines—making therapy feel less clinical and more connected.
History
Established in 2021.
I launched my business amidst the pandemic, leveraging years of experience and realizing a growing demand for compassionate ABA services. Mindful Behavior Connections began as a small solo practice offering compassionate ABA support during a time of growing need. We’ve since expanded to include social groups, parent coaching, and enrichment classes—all grounded in a naturalistic, neurodiversity-affirming approach that blends evidence-based care with art, nature, and play.
Meet the Business Owner: Ashley W.
I started Mindful Behavior Connections to create a more connected, responsive model of ABA—one that values creativity, relationship, and the whole child. With a background in behavior analysis and early intervention, I saw the impact that art, nature, and play could have when integrated into evidence-based care. My focus is on making therapy feel supportive and engaging for both children and caregivers, while helping families build meaningful progress through personalized, affirming strategies.
