About Us:

Our mission is to help children and adolescents with autism build more natural, meaningful connections with their families and communities as they achieve greater growth, independence, and joy. We believe deeply in the power of the developmental approach because we have seen firsthand the transformation our children and families experienced.


People come to Positive Development for the cause and stay for the community. Few jobs provide the opportunity to change lives meaningfully while allowing you to work as your true, authentic self. We embrace diversity and difference among our staff and respect you for who you are – just as we do our clients. Best of all, we have so much fun together.


Our Occupational Therapists are key members of the therapeutic team at Positive Development. They work in collaboration with Speech Language Pathologists and Mental Health Clinicians to provide a true developmental and trans-disciplinary approach of excellence to children and their families.
