Founders Letter

I’ve been in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for 11 years, helping children and adults on the Autism spectrum ranging from two to seventy years old. It has been a long and rewarding journey in which I’ve seen the benefits of ABA in practice firsthand. Interventions like Positive Reinforcement and Shaping have helped clients learn new skills and communicate with others when they could not before. With the help of ABA, we will work to decrease maladaptive behaviors such as destructive tantrums, aggression, and even property destruction. In their place will be functional communication and children engaging in activities they enjoy. I still love seeing how children can grow daily to overcome seemingly insurmountable behavioral challenges.    

Every instance of positive change like that inspires me every day and has driven me to find a way to make this type of aid available to everyone. There are so many families out there that are not able to get the support they need due to a lack of resources and available therapists. At Noodle Parenting, we aim to change that.  

The science of ABA is invaluable, helping parents assist their children in living fulfilling, meaningful lives. It’s time that it becomes accessible to as many parents as possible. Using Noodle, no challenge will ever be too daunting. Let Noodle assist and coach you through any given scenario, with the science of ABA as your ultimate tool!

With Noodle, the smart parenting assistant, you and your child can reach their behavioral goals. Have a difficult scenario? Quickly get answers on how to deal with toilet training or decreasing tantrums with a simple texted question. More specifically, the app will cater to your specific child’s strengths and needs. It will take the information you give it and create a responsive plan to take action in the moment or the next time a behavior occurs. Using the “chat” feature, you can explain what is going on with your child and what you need help with specifically. Noodle will then give you strategies to address your concerns and check in to see the status after you’ve implemented the given strategy. Noodle is goal-oriented and will work with you to achieve each goal you set. Noodle will even help you decide if a goal is age appropriate given your child’s specific age and profile!

With Noodle at your fingertips, I hope stronger bonds will be created between parent and child. I imagine improved relations through science-backed interventions that emphasize child-led practices based on positive reinforcement. I hope that Noodle will help parents enjoy the parenting process while better understanding the impact positive interventions can have on their children. I want Noodle to help create lasting memories between parent and child that stem from mutual growth. Ultimately, I believe in the “we” not “me” approach. Noodle is an extension of that as an assistant to the entire team that engages with a child, the parent being the most impactful team member of all. 

I do think there is a lot more potential out there and the Noodle team will continue to work etremely hard to improve in it’s ability to give you all the support you need, maximizing your toolbox as parents.
