Most weekends, Bree Juan and her 15-year-old son Skylar drive from Orange County to a busy corner in Koreatown. There they set up BreeSky’s Quesadillas, a food stand named by combining their names.
What started as a simple way to keep Skylar engaged has grown into a small business that draws customers from across Southern California and beyond.
People often find them through social media and live streams as much as through the food. Followers message Juan after watching Skylar greet customers, prepare meals, or simply work alongside his mom. Many parents say seeing him start college classes and handle the stand gives them hope for their own children.
From Setback to New Path
That confidence took time to rebuild. Juan said Skylar was once a happy, outgoing child until bullying at school caused him to shut down. The change hit her hard, so she moved him to a different school district. The new setting helped him begin to thrive again.
Now he balances college classes with weekends at the stand. Juan built the business with one clear purpose: giving her son a sense of purpose and a path toward a good life. She often tells people that autism has no limits and that “Sky’s the limit.”
Giving Back Along the Way
At the end of each shift, the pair take leftover quesadillas to MacArthur Park and hand them out to people who may not have eaten that day. For Juan, the stand was never mainly about making money. It was about watching her son discover what he can do and sharing that journey so other families feel less alone.
Keeping Progress Moving Forward
Watching a child gain confidence through real experiences often leads parents to look for ways to keep that progress going.
Many want steady support that strengthens communication, eases big emotions, and builds everyday independence so their child can take part more fully in family life, school, and the community.
That kind of focused, consistent help is exactly what Sacramento ABA Therapy provides through individualized ABA therapy. Our Therapists begin by closely observing how a child already communicates, what holds their attention, and where they get stuck.
From there, we create realistic goals that match the child’s current abilities and adjust them as new skills appear. Insurance is talked through early so families know what to expect.
If this approach feels worth exploring, reach out when you’re ready. We’ll go over the details honestly and help you decide whether it fits your family.
