Assessments, Individualized ABA Intervention, Parent/sibling training, and Comprehensive Treatments

What is joie's world

Who is Joie? Joie's name stems from my personal story. She was my daughter who was never fortunate enough to see the world, her world. Joie was supposed to be born with Down Syndrome. She did not make it, but she left a need in my heart to help others become what I knew she would be. Joie would be great, as your child is great. I first decided to create this company to help me heal, but as I continued to service children on the spectrum I began to see this as my passion. Every child I meet and service has crept into my heart, and my desire to help only continues to grow exponentially.Therefore, I have decided that Joie's World is here to change a world, not the world. To change your child's world. We are building a community where your child's world is our focus. We put emphasis on their individual needs and development. We are a place where your child can grow.Let's help your child grow. We provide Assessments, Individualized ABA Intervention, Parent/sibling training, and Comprehensive Treatments for your child. Joie's World is comprised of caring, compassionate, and highly skilled ABA therapists who will work flexibly within your child's and your normal routines.
