CSAAC

“If you saw my previous review, PLEASE DISREGARD IT. My opinions of ABA have since changed and I no longer believe most of the stuff I said before. I deeply apologize to anyone who saw that flaming rant I wrote. I wasn’t in the best mindset back then and didn’t fully understand how my therapies have helped me over the years. (Didn’t help that a lot of the online lower support needs autism community are heavily against ABA and fed into the unhealthy pride I had at the time). Now that I’ve finally been able to let myself grow out of it, I do think that while there are some improvements to be made, overall this place has helped me a lot and the people here were really great too. Thank you to everyone here who’ve worked with me throughout my childhood ❤️ From Natalie, a former CSAAC client”

“Community School of Maryland of CSAAC is a place where the administration doesn't respect the staff; they speak to us like garbage. We're crammed into a van with nine people, including autistic children, and we genuinely have no space when there's commotion and aggression. You go and talk to the administration about it, and the director says he'll look into it and that, according to regulations, this van should hold 12 people. He doesn't care about how the staff might feel about the aggression. I don't recommend anyone apply to the school or tell a parent to enroll their child. There's discrimination there, especially if you're African.”

“It's such a meaningful and powerful place for autistic kiddos. I have been using its ABA service for almost two years and seeing tremendous progress in my daughter. The only thing that I want to complain is its financing department. They are very careless and not paying enough attention to what they work which is billing customers. You have to look carefully and catch up their mistakes. Otherwise, these ABA specialists are very good at their job.”

“I observed Mr. Elijah Curtis helping two young men with autism at MLK swim center. He was attentive and kind to them at every moment, and it was clear that he cared deeply for them. Such an honor to observe him work.”
