Kristin founded ACES (Comprehensive Educational Services) in 1996 using applied behavior analysis to provide comprehensive, professional services to maximize the potential of individuals with autism in the home, school and community throughout their lifespan. ACES has grown to serve San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles and internationally.

In order to raise awareness of autism in the community and to provide ACES services to families unable to sustain the significant financial burdens of supporting long term needs of a child with developmental disabilities, Kristin then founded La Casa Center for Autism in 2003, along with Susan and Chad Mooney. This non-profit foundation raises funds to provide programs that foster the independent lifestyles of individuals with autism and support their families through educational and recreational programs and other services.

Future plans for La Casa Center for Autism encompass job training and the building of a campus, living center and recreational center for individuals with special needs.
