Bloom Buddies program
FAITH + ABA-INFORMED SUPPORT + COMMUNITY CARE
Our Bloom Buddies are trained, background-checked autism and neurodivergence support providers who assist children, teens, and young adults with everyday developmental, behavioral, and learning needs across home and community settings.
They offer practical, autism-informed support that helps clients build skills, increase independence, and function more confidently in real-life environments.
Bloom Buddies can help with areas such as:
Daily routines and behavior support
Communication and social interaction
Emotional regulation and coping skills
Classroom readiness and school success
Work readiness, resumes, and job applications
College application tasks and transition support
Life skills like organization, self-care, and following directions
This isn’t therapy — it’s intentional, hands-on support that fits into real life and real routines.
“ABA-Informed Support for Autistic & Neurodivergent Children, Teens & Young Adults”
Step 1
You’ll choose from three domains of support —
each designed to meet your child where they are:
🌱 Behavior & Daily Life
This domain focuses on helping children build structure, independence, and success in everyday life. Bloom Buddies guide children through:
Creating smoother routines (morning, meals, bedtime)
Strengthening communication and social skills
Encouraging positive behavior and life skills
Supporting life skills like self-care, following directions, and organization
Assisting with job applications, resumes, and workplace readiness
✨Goal:
More consistency, confidence, and independence at home and in the community.
💜 Emotional Wellness
This domain is all about supporting children’s inner world — their feelings, regulation, and confidence. Bloom Buddies provide tools to help kids:
Teaching coping strategies for stress and frustration
Building self-regulation and calm routines
Encouraging confidence and resilience
✨Goal:
Children feel more in control of their emotions and parents see calmer, more confident days.
📘 School & Learning Support
This domain connects directly to the classroom and learning needs. Bloom Buddies help families by:
Reinforcing classroom expectations (sitting, transitions, listening, raising hands)
Providing homework, study support, and organization strategies
Building organization skills (keeping up with homework, planners, backpacks, deadlines)
Strengthening focus and attention during academic tasks.
Assisting with college applications, essays, and transition planning
✨Goal:
To help students feel confident and capable in the classroom, supported in learning tasks, and prepared for future transitions like college, careers, and independent living.

How does it works?
-
Start with our short online form. You’ll share:
Which domain of support (Behavior & Daily Life, Emotional Wellness, or School & Learning) best fits.
Which Bloom Buddy tier you prefer.
Your child’s needs, strengths, and support goals
Preferred days, times, and hours per week (6, 10, 15, 30, or 40 hrs)
Your location and setting preference (home, community, school, church)
A review of our current pricing plans — no commitment required
-
We begin locating a trained Bloom Buddy in your area whose availability aligns with your request.
Matching takes up to 1–2 weeks based on location, need, and schedule. We aim for consistency and the right personality fit for your child.
-
You’ll only be invoiced after a Bloom Buddy is successfully assigned and your proposed schedule is approved.
This ensures you don’t pay until we’ve secured the right support for your family.
-
Once payment is received, sessions begin on your agreed schedule — and your Bloom Buddy steps in with purpose.
Your Bloom Buddy is more than a sitter — they are a trained, ABA-informed support partner who works directly with your child to create meaningful moments of growth, learning, and regulation.
During sessions, your Bloom Buddy may:
Build routines through consistent activities like visual schedules, timers, and guided transitions
Use positive reinforcement to shape desired behaviors and reduce meltdowns or tantrums
Support communication by encouraging words, gestures, or AAC systems (if used)
Coach emotional regulation using calming techniques, sensory tools, or behavior breaks
Model social skills through play, conversation, and structured peer or sibling interaction
Help with transitions (e.g., leaving the house, bedtime, mealtime, or school pickup)
Document observations and offer parent updates so you can track progress and stay informed
-
At the end of each month, we’ll check in with you to:
Review how things are going — What’s working well? What could be better?
Make any changes — Adjust your weekly hours, switch days, or request a new Bloom Buddy if needed
Plan ahead — Decide if you want to continue, pause, or scale your support up or down
There’s no long-term commitment. You’re never locked into a contract — just supported on a month-to-month basis that fits your child’s progress and your family’s needs.
While Bloom Buddies support your child — our ABA-Informed Parent Coaching supports you.
We’ll walk alongside you with expert insight, practical strategies, and answers to the parenting questions no one else is helping you decode.
