Be ME began with a simple belief: neurodiverse children deserve care that honors who they are, how they experience the world, and how they grow best—through relationship, connection, and understanding.
Over the years, families shared similar experiences. Many therapy settings felt rigid or behavior-focused, often prioritizing compliance over understanding the whole child. Parents were frequently asked to choose between effective therapy and approaches that truly respected their child’s emotional world, sensory needs, and individuality.
Be ME was created to offer a different path.
Our founding team has seen, both professionally and personally, how powerful therapy can be when it is grounded in relationships rather than behavior management. Guided by faith, clinical experience, and evidence-based research, we envisioned a model that centers the whole child: emotionally, socially, sensory-wise, and developmentally.
From that vision, the Be ME Center: therapeutic preschool was formed.
Our approach blends relationship-based therapy, sensory-informed environments, and transdisciplinary collaboration. We do not use compliance-based or behavior-driven models. Instead of asking children to adapt to a system, we design environments and supports that adapt to each child.
Today, Be ME serves families seeking something fundamentally different - an evidence-based, relationship-centered approach where children are supported across all areas of development and allowed to grow in ways that are meaningful, joyful, and authentic.
