Welcome to our site.  We are Melanie Kyle and Melissa Waterson.  We have worked together in the general education and special education settings, as teachers at West Fork Elementary, for the last nineteen years.  We have worked in ABA since 2016 and have been Board Certified Behavior Analysts since 2017.  We stepped out of our role as educators in 2023 to bring our ABA services to West Fork, Arkansas and the surrounding communities.  We work to provide ABA therapy services to young children, ages birth to five, with autism in Northwest Arkansas.  We aim to live out Matthew 5:16; shining a light by serving children, families, and our community.  If you are interested in learning more about our services, please reach out to us.  

What is ABA? ABA stands for Applied Behavior Analysis.  Behavior analysis is the science of understanding and improving human behavior.  We, as behavior analysts, work to improve skill demonstration and reduce problem behavior.
