About Little Scientists

The Little Scientists "hands-on" approach to teaching and learning was created to achieve two goals: to instill in children a passion for the exciting world of science and to help children develop specific scientific skills that will enable them to enjoy a lifetime of learning. We now have over 200 "hands-on" science lessons in subjects such as: Why is the Sky Blue, Magical Magnets, the Science of Flying, Chemistry, Electromagnetism -- and we are continuing to develop new lessons.

About SOS Franchising

"Logo"

Success On The Spectrum was founded by Nichole Daher, an Autism mom who envisioned an ABA center that maximized the potential for progress for her daughter.
She created the perfect combination of the most effective methods of ABA science, a fun environment, community outings, safety, and high parent involvement.  
In addition, Nichole created a community outreach program that allowed the local community to come together.
Events like Autism Prom and Sensory-friendly Festivals allowed children to experience social milestones otherwise unavailable to them.  

After the original two centers boasted success and profit, Nichole founded SOS Franchising in order to share her mission with other passionate business owners.
We enthusiastically train and support new business owners to operate successful Success On The Spectrum centers.

SOS Franchising sells ABA franchises throughout the U.S.
