Who We Are
Adapt For Life is proud to be a privately and veteran-owned organization, built on a foundation of service, integrity, and a deep commitment to our mission. Unlike many in our industry, we are not backed by private equity, which allows us to make decisions based on what’s best for our clients, families, and team—not outside investors.
Our independence empowers us to stay true to our values, prioritize long-term relationships, and invest in the growth and well-being of our staff and the individuals we serve. Being privately owned also means our leadership is directly involved in the daily operations and future of our organization, ensuring that every decision reflects our core purpose: to create meaningful, lasting change in the lives of children and families!

Our
Mission
Embracing Growth: Inspiring Families with the Nautilus Approach.
Our Mission: To positively impact as many lives as possible through the delivery of exceptional ABA therapy!
The Nautilus logo represents our approach to working with families, reflecting the growth and development we strive for. Like the unique marine animal, the nautilus, its spiral-shaped shell symbolizes something deeper. Internally, the shell is divided into chambers that expand as the nautilus matures, preventing regression. Living in the depths of the ocean under immense pressure, the nautilus maintains its beautiful spiral shape, just as our families continue to grow and develop. At Adapt for Life, we embrace individual starting points and support forward progress, just like the Nautilus.
With dedicated staff and powerful ABA therapy, we encourage adaptation and resilience, reminding ourselves that growth, learning, and adaptation are lifelong journeys. The nautilus is our reminder of how strong and resilient we can be, and how we can withstand outside pressures while continuing to grow into our own person. It is our reminder that we will never stop growing, we will never stop learning, and we will never stop adapting.
What Is ABA?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) uses the scientific principles of learning and motivation in order to effectively teach children. It focuses on the idea that the consequences of what we do affect what we learn and what we do in the future.
