You should not have to figure it out alone.

Sandhya Bikmal
BCBA. Founder. Autism Mom
"I built ASPIRE Next because I know what it feels like to have a child who needs more support than therapy sessions can provide — and to feel powerless in between. Every family deserves a clear plan, expert guidance, and the confidence to help their child thrive at home."
— Why ASPIRE Next
Professional expertise. Personal understanding.
ASPIRE Next was founded by Sandhya and Harish Bikmal after decades of raising their autistic son and working across autism care, healthcare, technology, and inclusion.
Sandhya is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and autism mother. She understands both professional recommendations and the reality of using them at home.
Together, the founders are building the practical support their family once needed—delivered by a growing team of autism professionals.
