In your home
We meet your child in their everyday world — where natural teaching moments already happen, with the people and routines they know.
Your child works with a small, stable team led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst from day one. Small caseloads, real supervision, and in-home or in-center care across the East Bay.


Too many families are handed a BCBA they rarely see, a rotating cast of technicians, and decisions made somewhere far away. We built Animate Behavior to be the opposite of that.
Care that answers to families — not investors. The analyst who designs your child's program is the one who knows them.
Staying small isn't a limitation. It's the whole point. It's how a BCBA can genuinely know your child, adjust quickly, and stay accountable to your family.
Decisions about your child's care are made by the clinicians who know them — not a distant corporate office.
Our analysts carry deliberately few clients, so the person who designs the program is genuinely in it week to week.
No scripts. No manualized curricula. No compliance drills. We build the plan from your child up.
We follow your child's lead through play and their own interests, and we honor their assent to the work.
Culturally diverse, bilingual care that reflects the families we actually serve across the East Bay.
“If something isn't working for your child, we change it. That's a promise we can only keep by staying small.”
Our standing promise to every familyApplied Behavior Analysis is the most-studied intervention for autism — when it's practiced ethically. Here, that means real teaching, real play, and goals that matter to your family. No two programs look alike, because no two children do.
Your analyst meets your child, identifies goals that matter to your family, and builds an individualized program from scratch.
A consistent Registered Behavior Technician delivers the program in-home or in-center, with close, ongoing BCBA oversight.
You learn the strategies too — so progress carries over to mealtimes, bedtime, and the everyday moments that matter.

Two settings, one consistent team. We meet your child where progress comes most naturally.
