Blue Gems ABA Therapy

Blue Gems, a leading provider of ABA therapy services for children who are on the autism spectrum, recently moved into its first Kansas City area location after providing in-home and school-based services to children for the last several 3 years.

“The team saw that demand was growing and we were in need of a center to provide more comprehensive care,” said Pace Topper, Blue Gems chief marketing officer. “This location offers the convenience to and space for our clients.”

Located in Curry Real Estate Services’ Windmill Square center at 7401 W 97th Street Overland Park, Kansas, Blue Gems’ experienced clinicians develop treatment plans for clients ranging in age from 18 months to 18 using applied behavior analysis (ABA) to decrease negative behaviors, increase positive behaviors, improve social interactions and learn new skills.

Blue Gems’ credentialed clinical team includes Registered Behavior Technicians (RBT) and Board-Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBA) who work alongside clients and supervise the work, respectively, while a regional clinical director supports the team to ensure that the highest caliber of care is delivered.

“Blue Gems recently added a position, Director of Outcomes,” said Topper. “We take very seriously our commitment to each child’s progress and outcomes. Data strategy is integral to what we do, and our teams capture data from each therapy session as points of reference for how each child is progressing.”

Glue Gems was founded in 2020 in New Jersey and now operates across seven states. The founders, in the healthcare field but not therapists, have family members with neuro diversity and wanted to contribute a quality of care in this space that was not otherwise available.

“We are excited every day to offer such quality treatment and development for families who are looking for help for their neuro diverse loved ones,” said Topper. “Every day we get to bring quality care that makes a difference to children with autism and that is a privilege.”
