  • For nearly two decades, our founder, Dr. Autumn Flick, has developed the Orchid Way: an intensive intervention designed to create meaningful social interactions, highlight critical academic skills and provide enriching activities such as yoga and music therapy.

    At Orchid Academy, parents are partners in this journey, and we ensure that we learn alongside each other to maximize life-changing outcomes.

  • Dr. Autumn and her team have supported children in a wide array of environments: self-contained classrooms, full inclusion programs, private schools, daycares, transition programs, preschools and home ABA programs. She began Orchid Academy with the understanding that the environment greatly affects the impact on a child’s experience and programming. The environments she has created incorporate all the positives she identified while working across these varying environments, setting Orchid Academy apart from other providers.

  • Orchid Academy is dedicated to bring and retaining highly skilled team members who share in our mission and values.
