Our Mission

Agape means universal love or love for one’s community, and this principle is at the heart of everything we do at Agape ABA Services. Our journey began in the summer of 2022 with a transformative experience that would shape our mission and vision. While conducting a Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA) for a client, we were confronted with the stark realities faced by families in underserved communities. The client and their family were living in a single bedroom of a shared apartment, with limited space for essential activities like play, homework, and meals. This cramped environment underscored the urgent need for a more supportive and comfortable setting for both our clients and staff. This moment ignited our mission to establish centers in underserved communities, ensuring that families receive the vital ABA treatments they deserve. We are committed to creating spaces where children and their families can thrive, regardless of their circumstances. At Agape, we embrace the understanding that no one operates at 100% all the time. Our approach is rooted in the belief that behavior is a powerful form of communication that impacts everyone around us. We adopt an 80/20 philosophy: 80% of our efforts are dedicated to what we can actively do—teaching, fostering, engaging, acting, responding, and initiating. This majority of our work focuses on direct interventions and support that drive meaningful change. The remaining 20% is dedicated to creating a supportive environment, engaging with audiences, facilitating learning, and providing comprehensive training. We recognize that many factors are beyond our control, and the barriers we face are often environmental. By providing 80% of the training, lessons, guidance, and applied behavior practices, we empower our clients to manage 100% of their lives and achieve true independence. Our goal is to equip them with the skills and confidence they need to navigate their world successfully. Perfection isn’t our aim at Agape. Instead, we focus on supporting our clients in reaching their own unique goals and needs. Through consistent and dedicated behavioral interventions, we foster their independence and personal growth. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, no matter their circumstances. To achieve 100% client success, it takes 20% support and 80% Agape. This philosophy drives our unwavering commitment to providing comprehensive support while empowering our clients to embrace their journey towards independence and self-sufficiency.
