About Us

Our Story

Tamarack was founded in 2020 by a team of Board Certified Behavior Analysts in North Idaho who are passionate about helping children and families with autism. We understand how it can feel for a family to discover that their child has autism, and how scary it can be to get started on the journey.

That’s why we’e here: To help you on your journey through autism, from start to finish.

Collectively, we have over 40 years of experience in working with kids and families and providing ABA therapy to clients in all settings.

Tamarack Family Services is committed to changing the story in ABA and focusing compassionate care. We are committed to never trying to change “who your child is.” Every child is unique and worthy of dignity. That’s why we ensure that kids are happy, relaxed, and engaged in everything they do with us, at all times. And we sincerely value family support and participation, because we’ve seen what amazing results can be achieved when families are integrally involved in therapy.
