Real supervision
Your BCBA designs and oversees the program, observes sessions, and guides the technicians delivering day-to-day care.
About Animate Behavior
Clinician-owned. Personally involved.
We are an Albany-based ABA practice supporting children, teens, and young adults across the East Bay. Small caseloads and involved BCBAs keep care centered on the person, their goals, and the people who support them.
Why we started Animate
The people guiding your care are close to the work.
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst gets to know the person receiving services, develops their plan, and oversees the team delivering it. We keep caseloads small so that supervision is part of care, not just a name on the paperwork.
Goals are chosen together and reviewed as needs change. We bring clinical observations and session information; you bring your priorities and everyday experience. Questions, preferences, and concerns belong in that conversation.
The boutique difference
Small on purpose.
The numbers families notice first, and the ones that shape every program we run.

What we believe
What this means for your care.
Who stays involved, how goals are chosen, and how we work with you throughout the program.
Truly individualized
The assessment starts with strengths, interests, communication, and the goals that matter in daily life. The plan is adapted as those needs change.
Assent-based
We pay attention to the person's willingness to participate, including how they communicate a need for a break or a different approach.
Family partnership
Caregivers and support people are partners in reviewing goals and practicing useful strategies. Tell the team when something is not working at home or needs to change.
Cultural humility
We offer care in English and Spanish and ask about the routines, preferences, and family context that should shape the plan.
Decisions you can understand
We explain what the team is working on, why it matters, and how progress informs the next step. Your questions help keep the plan relevant.

If something isn't working for your child, we change it. That's a promise we can only keep by staying small.
