Our professional team

Dedicated to Your Family's Success

We're a team of passionate professionals committed to helping children with autism reach their full potential through compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy.

Our Story

Loyd Behavioral and Family Wellness was founded in 2025 with a deeply personal mission: to provide high-quality ABA therapy that treats every child and family with the compassion, understanding, and respect they deserve.

Our founder, Wesley Loyd, didn't come to this field by chance—he came to it through love. As the father of a son on the autism spectrum, Wesley experienced firsthand the challenges, the triumphs, and the profound importance of finding the right support. That personal journey inspired him to dedicate 15 years to the field, specializing in early intervention, so that other families could have the guidance and care he wished had been more accessible.

Wesley's lived experience as an autism parent gives Loyd Behavioral something rare: a founder who truly understands what families are going through. He doesn't just treat children—he sees them the way every parent sees their child, as full of potential, worthy of patience, and deserving of the very best.

As we continue to grow and serve families across all 50 states, that founding spirit remains at the heart of everything we do. Your child isn't a case number—they're a unique individual with unlimited potential, and we're honored to walk this journey alongside your family.

Our Values

These principles guide everything we do, from clinical decisions to how we interact with families every day.

Compassion First

We treat every family with empathy, respect, and understanding. Your challenges are our challenges, and your victories are our victories.

Clinical Excellence
