BlueSprig Surprise - ABA Therapy for Autism

My son spent four years with Blue Sprig. We bounced from Avondale, In Home and then finally Surprise office when we were given no other option. My child just graduated in July 2025 but that would have never happened unless his current team fought for him. My child has been a challenge kid and there were only a few staff that wanted the challenge of taking on my son. When Noah was moved to in center, he had many challenges especially his BCBA's and tech's I was reluctant switching from Alycia to Haley during one family guidance. As my family in started a new journey, I noticed the changes in my child immediately. Haley and team fought for two years to get him to a point where he could express his words and use nice hands. We as a family were faced with unbelievable challenge, but his team fought for him constantly for 2 years between staff call outs, staff abuse and staff doubt. My child persevered beyond anyone's expectations especially because with the director's behavior. She would call us out of therapy because of staffing but my child was always number one call out till I spoke up. There was one incident where his BCBA was out and the director put my son in an unauthorized hold which in turn made him never want to go back to therapy. Yes, I got a call but later found out the truth from staff(techs) that she didn't follow his plan. She put him in a hold due to wanting to turn off the lights which in my opinion could of been handled a lot differently. This Director and I have gone head-to-head several times through chat. The whole center gets hand, foot and mouth but we get in trouble for attendance. We spend a lot of our time getting in trouble for attendance. When is the child going to be worth more than a paycheck from the insurance. Lia would threaten about attending family guidance but in two years she never showed up to family guidance. She was never involved in any aspect of my son's therapy but would insert her opinion every day without even knowing what is going on with my child. The director is nice to your face but fake and terrorizes your child and family without anyone knowing. Techs would tell me about the Director wanting to switch him rooms AGAIN which didn't make sense to put in a room all day with a screaming kid. Noah hates loud noises. Her decisions only made sense to her, and I thank God every day his staff would stand up for his wellbeing. Lia Becktold is the most unreliable, unprofessional and always pretending to care about my kid. PS techs tell us everything. She is unprofessional and needs to be fired. I am not the first family to say something and all the families I have referred are ready to leave. I work in a profession along with my mother where we have referred numerous families to Blue Sprig. We can't do that anymore.

I love it

i am so happy this is the center that my daughter goes to. she has improved dramatically and she only has been doing aba at this location for about 7 weeks. she also loves going there. everyday she is excited!

My son has attended BlueSprig for a couple of months now. The staff has been so easy to work with which makes me feel far more comfortable dropping him off. The management is excellent. Very understanding and provide great communication! I look forward to continuing to watch my son grow at BlueSprig. So far, ABA has been a good decision for my son!
