The Stables Autism Program

At The Stables, we are committed to fostering a space where everyone is welcomed, respected, and supported. This Pride Month and every month, we proudly stand with the LGBTQ+ community and remain dedicated to providing compassionate, inclusive care that honors each individual’s unique journey.

We celebrate the strength, authenticity, and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community and continue working to ensure every person feels seen, valued, and supported throughout their healing process. 🌈💛

We’re excited to welcome Deanna Purslow, BCBA, LBA as Director of Clinical Operations at The Stables Autism Program!

With over 10 years of experience in ABA, Deanna has provided clinical oversight for hundreds of clients, trained RBTs, and implemented evidence-based protocols. In her new role, she will oversee operations, strengthen clinical practices, and support staff across the program.

We’re proud to have her on the team and look forward to the impact she’ll make for the individuals and families we serve.

Animal-Assisted Therapy (AAT) can be a gentle, meaningful part of the healing process. 🐾 Time spent with animals has been shown to support trust, communication, confidence, emotional regulation, and focus.

Whether it’s a family pet, an emotional support animal, or equine therapy, these connections can help ease stress and reduce feelings of loneliness. Clinicians also see benefits like increased movement, stronger relationships, and a greater sense of calm — reminding us that healing often begins with connection.
