Our Mission

Help every child find their ikigai.

Traditional development looks more like a factory line than a place for children to thrive. It is often treated like a series of boxes to check and milestones to reach — a script that tells you what your child should be doing, but nothing about who they are. We are changing that.

At Unity Behavioral Services, we don't follow a script; we follow the child. Our mission is to help every child ignite their inner spark — their Ikigai. It is that magical sweet spot where their natural curiosity meets their growing skills, giving them a real reason to jump out of bed and explore the world.

Ikigai: The "Inner Spark"

Ikigai is the powerful intersection where your child’s internal joy meets their unique potential. While the world often focuses on what a child cannot do, we focus on the four questions that reveal who they are:

What do they love? We lean into their natural play and curiosity.
What are they good at? We celebrate their emerging strengths and milestones.
What does their "world" need? We help them build meaningful connections with family and peers.
What can they be paid for? We cultivate that "I did it!" feeling that fosters lifelong independence from childhood.

For a child, the world can often feel like a series of "tasks" they have to master. Finding their Ikigai changes that narrative.

Our "Why" is rooted in the belief that every child deserves to feel the joy of their own potential.

Our "How" is individualized education. To find a child's Ikigai, you cannot use a map designed for someone else.

Our "What" includes a variety of services for all types of development, each rooted in simple principles that underpin every program.
