Nichole Daher’s entry into the world of autism treatment was a personal one. In 2014, she became the stepmother to an autistic child. Having no experience with special needs children, Nichole took “parent training” classes at her stepdaughter’s ABA therapy clinic. Everything seemed well, and the child was making progress in leaps and bounds. Seeing firsthand the remarkable gains her stepdaughter had achieved through behavior therapy, Nichole came to have a deep respect for the effects of expert autism treatment. However, everything changed when her stepdaughter turned seven.
