Our Story

Founded by a dedicated team of behavior analysts and family advocates, our center was born from the desire to make a real difference in the lives of those navigating the complexities of neurodiversity.



It all started when our founder, moved by personal experiences and professional encounters in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), recognized a pressing need for more personalized, compassionate, and comprehensive ABA services. Witnessing the challenges and triumphs of individuals and families, they envisioned a center that not only offered top-tier therapy but also a community of support, education, and empowerment.

What began as a small, passionate team has grown into a thriving center, touching the lives of countless individuals and families. Each step of our journey has been guided by our mission and vision, driving us to innovate, expand, and deepen our impact.


Along the way, we've celebrated numerous milestones:

  • Opening our first center, a welcoming space designed to foster learning and growth.
  • Expanding our services to include community-based instruction and family support, recognizing the importance of real-world learning and holistic care.
  • Launching educational workshops and advocacy initiatives to promote understanding and acceptance of neurodiversity within the wider community.

Looking Ahead

As we continue on our path, we're inspired by the stories of progress, resilience, and hope that fill our center every day. Our story is not just about the growth of Ho'okele ABA but about the individuals and families who have joined us on this journey, each with their own stories of challenge and triumph.


Our commitment remains steadfast: to empower, support, and celebrate every individual's journey toward a brighter future. Together, we're not just navigating the journey; we're creating a movement of change, one life at a time.
