“My son Yogi started his ABA journey with Svetlana when he was 4 years old, he is 16 now. She has done tremendous change in Yogi’s early years education. Svetlana’s work ethics is incomparable. From assessment, therapy to training tutors, she keeps her standards very high. She has given the confidence to us the parents how to teach Yogi the skills and manage his challenging behaviour. She is always my go-to person for all Behavior Therapy related queries even after a decade and living in different parts of the globe. She also helps out our UK based Aim High 4 Autism support group by conducting webinars and courses to empower the parents and tutors. Svetlana, you make real positive difference in many autistic children and adults who struggle.”

“Ms. Svetlana Iyer is a strong and compassionate visionary. She sees a need in a community and then executes a viable and sustainable solution. She saw the need for an integrated community school in India that would address the needs of children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and created a Montessori-based school where she hired and trained teachers who nurtured children in a one-on-one setting until they were ready to mainstream into the Montessori classroom. This school has won national and international recognition and changed the lives of countless children and their families who would have otherwise been isolated and struggled with sub-par care. Ms. Iyer brought this vision to the United States, where in 2018, she created Stepping Stones Center for Families. Again, Ms. Iyer saw the need for, and then created a space for exceptional holistic behavioral care. I have been her colleague and friend and I have watched her train and then manage new Behavioral Analysts at Saint Elizabeth University, in New Jersey and at Christ University in Bangalore, India. I have witnessed her kindness and warmth while delivering behavioral interventions. Her interventions go beyond behaviorism and reach into more integrated spaces of the mind, body, and spirit by incorporating her Yoga Teacher training into her behavioral interventions. Stepping Stones Center for Families is an environment where children and their families can find a place of holistic healing and growth.”

“Svetlana is a master of her Craft. She observes and responds to our children in a way no one else has. She responds without judgment, taking simple play to a new level that teaches needed skills and she responds in complex environments to break down tasks and goals into consistent strategies to develop better behaviors. When she explains strategies it seems simple but application of strategies is not easy and this is where you realize her amazing skill level. She is passionate, and patient, and can adapt to an ever changing environment creatively yet with consistent targets. I cannot recommend her enough!”

"My journey with Svetlana started when my daughter was 6 years old. Svetlana and her team worked very hard and solved all the issues one by one – sensory singing, compliance, speech. They have worked scientifically and they gave us training so we could help our child. Now my daughter goes to art school, she is learning classical music art from, and academic skills. She has started expressing her thoughts now and preparing for her Board exams. This was only possible because Svetlana’s vision and guidance. We will be always grateful to her and keep taking guidance from her. Svetlana, thanks for all your support, Guidance n Love!"
