Clive, Iowa

Leading the way in autism services—right here in Clive.

“Our family’s experience with Balance Autism has been nothing short of life-changing. When our son first started services, he struggled with communication, daily routines, and connecting with others. We felt overwhelmed and unsure of what the future would look like.

But the team at Balance Autism met him—and us—with patience, expertise, and genuine compassion. Over time, we watched him grow in ways we never imagined. He began communicating his needs, engaging more with peers, and becoming confident in his own abilities. The progress he has made has transformed our entire family’s daily life. We are forever grateful to Balance Autism."
