Our Story. Our Values. Our Team.

Everyone deserves compassionate care.

This is especially true in treating learning and behavioral challenges. Our vision was to create a space where these challenges could be addressed with a balance of understanding, empathy, and scientific techniques.

This Vision That Became Joyful Impact

Our founder, Julie Hall, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst with a deep understanding of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), observed the transformational power this science held. She knew it could be the key to unlocking each child’s unique potential, overcoming learning obstacles, and shaping behavior in a positive way. Yet, she also saw that ABA, while effective, was often delivered in environments that felt clinical and sterile, often missing the touch of joy. 

Joyful Impact was created to change that. We wanted to blend the best of ABA with a joyful, positive, and nurturing environment where children could not just grow but blossom. An environment where every achievement, no matter how small, is celebrated. A place where learning is not a chore or challenge but a journey filled with happiness, exploration, and discovery.

And so, we focused on building a team that shared this vision — experts who were not only proficient in ABA but who also believed in the power of positivity, the importance of celebrating each win, and the impact of a nurturing environment on a child’s learning process. Our team members became the pillars of Joyful Impact, tirelessly working to make a difference in every child’s life. But we knew that the children we serve aren’t just children; they’re a part of families.

Parents and caregivers who love them want to understand and support them better. And so, Joyful Impact extended its mission to empower parents with the skills and knowledge they needed, building a community of families united in their commitment to fostering a brighter and joyful future for their children.
Today, Joyful Impact is more than just a therapy company; it’s a place of hope, joy, and transformation. Every day, we see the smiles on the faces of children who’ve mastered a new skill, the tears of joy from parents watching their child’s progress, and the tangible impact we’re making in their lives. These are the moments that fuel our commitment to continue what we started, to strive for excellence in everything we do, and to never lose sight of our ultimate goal – creating a brighter, joy-filled future for all.

And this is just the beginning. 

As we look towards the future, we see Joyful Impact continuing to evolve, grow, and find new ways to serve our families and our community. And through it all, we promise to stay true to our name and our mission – to make a joyful impact that echoes throughout a lifetime.
