The Lotus Way is meant to be different from other ABA companies.

Our company philosophy, The Lotus Way, is the cornerstone of our success and the lasting impact we have on our clients' lives. This philosophy is not merely a set of values or a methodology; it is the very foundation of our identity. It shapes how we approach every challenge, seize every opportunity, and interact with each client.

The Lotus Way begins with a commitment to hiring exceptional therapists who truly understand and believe in our mission. The most important trait a therapist can possess is selflessness. Amazing, selfless individuals set the stage for everything we do and are key drivers of our continued success. While Lotus has steadily grown, we are dedicated to maintaining the foundation that all our efforts are for the kids. Each child is unique and awesome, which is why we individualize our interventions and strive to make them enjoyable. We also believe that when we can provide consistency, there are amazing results.

A BCBA can be awesome, but they aren’t there every day. Therapists have to be awesome in order to help the kids. That is also the reason why we don’t have RBT training as a prerequisite; we hire the person. Having the RBT training coming into the job does not mean someone has the right mindset. It is more important to have a company culture where everything we do is to help the kids be awesome and achieve new and exciting things.

We will never “graduate” kids, as there is always room for learning. We can always help. We want kids to go to school, be around peers, and live happy lives. Kids get fewer hours as they get older, but that does not mean they need therapy any less - sometimes, those kids need it the most. If we ever graduate a kid, we will always give them somewhere else to go.

We want to teach kids to build relationships, which is why we keep therapists with clients longer. This is not a common practice in ABA. Most companies switch therapists off a case within two months, sometimes even daily. We want clients to love their therapists!

Being in-home allows us to work in the community to create incredible experiences for the clients and therapists. We always want to ask what we can do to make these kids’ lives amazing. This is also why we don’t spend extra time on programs and try not to be repetitive. Instead, we teach concepts so that they can build upon the skills and grow.

Ultimately, Lotus is here to help the kids and their families. Lotus will always focus on the highest quality, individualized, and most effective interventions for our clients, as well as provide a meaningful, supportive, and enjoyable experience for all of our employees.
