Our ABA clinic provides a structured and nurturing environment for children to develop essential developmental and age-appropriate skills. Through a combination of play–based and adult–directed activities, children learn communication, daily living, pre-academic, and social readiness. Our experienced team facilitates these sessions, helping your child build independence and confidence in a setting that mirrors real-world scenarios. Clinic–based service models include regular parent and caregiver training to maximize learning opportunities outside of structured ABA Therapy sessions.
In-home ABA therapy services target socially significant skills within the home environment. This approach targets communication, daily routines, and addresses specific challenges like communication, activities of daily living, and behavior management within a familiar home environment. Our team works closely with families to create personalized interventions, so we enhance engagement and foster independence within the home setting. Home–based service models include regular parent and caregiver training to maximize learning opportunities outside of structured ABA Therapy sessions.
Our In-school ABA therapy services provide vital support within both public and private school settings. In addition to providing direct services to your child, our team works closely with teachers and school staff to develop strategies that help with skill development and promote positive peer interactions. By integrating ABA principles into the school day, we enhance students’ learning experiences and support their success. When appropriate, in-school service delivery models include regular parent and caregiver training to maximize learning opportunities outside of structured ABA Therapy sessions.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy is a structured, evidence-based approach used to help children with autism develop critical skills in communication, social interactions, and adaptive behaviors. ABA therapy is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and is highly recommended for both early intervention and long-term development.
ABA therapy is personalized to reduce challenging behaviors while encouraging positive skills that support independence and confidence. By focusing on each child’s unique needs, ABA therapy helps improve behaviors like communication, cooperation, self-help skills, and so much more.
ABA therapy uses the ABC model—Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence—to analyze why a behavior happens and how it can be adjusted. For instance, if a child engages in a behavior to gain attention, therapists might use positive reinforcement to encourage more appropriate ways of seeking attention.
“Chaining” is another method in ABA therapy, breaking down complex tasks into smaller, achievable steps to build independence. Additionally, positive reinforcement helps children learn and repeat desired behaviors, creating a solid foundation for continued progress.
Our ABA clinicians focus on:
Our ABA therapy approach is uniquely designed for each child, creating a supportive and effective experience for both children and their families.
ABA therapy has shown significant results for children with autism, especially when started early. Research indicates that ABA can help reduce symptoms, improve life skills, and foster independence. Through consistent, evidence-based interventions, children who participate in ABA therapy can make remarkable strides in their development.
If you believe ABA therapy could be beneficial for your child, we encourage you to reach out. Our team in Fort Lauderdale is here to provide the support and information you need to make an informed decision about autism therapy services.
