The Arizona Autism Story
Our founders joined forces years ago, like all great stories, through a mutual pursuit to help others. The intimate connection in the beginning that kick started it all was one specific boy… Tayven, the son of one of the founders.
When one of our owners, Ryan “Ryker” Martin first discovered his son had Autism, he naturally sought out the best Autism therapy care for Tayven. Ryker soon discovered that there wasn’t one place to turn to for all of his son’s pediatric therapy needs. That’s when he met his son’s new master level Occupational Therapist Ryan Sherman and everything changed.
With Ryan’s therapy skillset and Ryker’s business acumen together their passion for helping Tayven sparked the flame to redefine the entire Arizona Pediatric Therapy Industry! Their goal was to create a helpful agency that brings all of the necessary and important pediatric therapy and in-care services under one roof.
That’s when Arizona Autism was born.
“From day one, I knew Arizona Autism had to be different in our approach to pediatric therapy and how we employ all our therapists and caregivers. Happy and fulfilled employees pour their heart and soul into our clients’ lives, and that’s what truly matters. Arizona Autism is a Christian based company, so by putting Him first, we're putting the kids first.
