Kindways Behavioral, founded by Rebecca Cardenas, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, provides individualized applied behavior analysis (ABA) services for children and teens with autism in the Eugene, Springfield, and surrounding Oregon communities. Rooted in kindness, our collaborative, assent-based approach is responsive to each child's unique strengths, needs, and family priorities. We believe that every child deserves support that honors their voice and builds on their capabilities.

We focus on helping children and teens develop meaningful skills in communication, daily living, emotional regulation, and community participation. We also help families with everyday challenges, including potty training, picky eating, and sleep. Through comprehensive assessment, individualized treatment planning, caregiver guidance, and collaboration with your child's support team, we create lasting change that matters in everyday life. Our mission is to help families feel heard, supported, and empowered as their children grow and thrive.
