Personalized

Unlock your child’s potential

Stop waiting on insurance companies and waitlists.

We help families that are facing concerns in early childhood by:

Quick personalized results & plan in 2 weeks
Creating custom roadmaps & goals
Action items to ease the day to day

When there are concerns for your child’s development, they can’t wait.

Those first five years are critical in childhood development.

Why an assessment?

When you have concerns about your 2-6 year olds development, it’s always ideal to speak with your pediatrician.

But what happens when they don’t offer you solutions, tell you to “wait it out” or even if they DO refer you, just to be placed on a waitlist for 6 months....

For a young child each week matters for their quick development.

An assessment will allow you to have an accurate snapshot of where they may need extra support and where they are doing well socially, communication & developmentally.

About Me

Hi, I’m Tara Ann Vellella

MA, LBA BCBA

As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst of 9 years, Parent Coach and Mom to 3, I recognized the need to gap-services early on in after our move to Maui.

After experiencing first-hand the infuriatingly long wait times to be seen by psychologists through insurance on island for a diagnosis, I knew there was something I could do, ASAP.

Those early years are precious and it’s imperative to have a day-to-day plan (simpler the better for busy parents!) that can help increase connection, communication, more patience and understanding.

I am on a mission to ease this problem by providing carefully crafted, unique for you: developmental assessments, strategy, support and plans so your ohana can move forward with meaningful days while in the “wait”.
