Potential
Potential is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization whose vision is for every person with autism to lead a successful life of value. We accomplish this by engaging children and adults with autism in personalized programs that help them realize their full potential. Founded in 2006, Potential currently serves families across Bucks, Philadelphia, and Montgomery Counties, and provides services to individuals with autism and other behavior health diagnoses from age 1 to 64 in three programs: Intensive Behavioral Health Services-Applied Behavior Analysis (IBHS-ABA), Springtime School, and Adult Services. Guided by our core values of respect, compassion, teamwork, and integrity, Potential is dedicated to making meaningful changes in our clients' lives. This means working together as a team, collaborating to problem solve, supporting one another in all that we do, and remaining current with research guiding best practices in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) standards.

We help families cut through all the opinions and information, and work to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to an individual’s unique needs and stage of life – from pre-school through adult.
