Our team in the Jacksonville area is committed to delivering quality ABA therapy led by Board Certified Behavior Analysts. Serving children in Orange Park, Yulee, St. Marys, and the surrounding communities, our flexible approach to ABA therapy means that we can support learning in multiple environments.
Therapy sessions across different settings allow children to generalize their skills, making it easier for them to apply what they’ve learned in real-world situations. Whether your child is practicing social skills in a group setting or learning self-help routines at home, each environment offers unique opportunities for growth.
At Cultivate, we are committed to creating positive, lasting change for children with autism through thoughtful, customized ABA therapy solutions.
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 an evidence-based approach that helps children with autism learn vital skills, including communication, socialization, and adaptive behaviors. Backed by scientific research, ABA therapy is recognized as one of the most effective treatments for autism spectrum disorder (ASD), making it a valuable resource for early intervention and long-term progress.
ABA therapy focuses on building skills that enhance a child’s independence and quality of life. The therapy is personalized to reduce challenging behaviors like aggression and self-injury while improving beneficial behaviors such as communication, self-care, and cooperation.
A fundamental aspect of ABA therapy is the ABC model—Antecedent, Behavior, and Consequence. This model helps therapists understand the triggers (antecedents) and outcomes (consequences) of specific behaviors, providing insight into why a behavior occurs. By using this model, we can guide children toward positive behavior patterns.
“Chaining” is another important method in ABA therapy, allowing children to learn complex tasks by breaking them down into smaller, manageable steps. Positive reinforcement, where desired behaviors are rewarded, encourages children to repeat those behaviors.
Our skilled clinicians use these principles to:
At Cultivate, our ABA therapy services are tailored to meet the needs of each child and family, ensuring a unique and supportive experience.
While autism cannot be cured, ABA therapy has proven highly effective for reducing symptoms and improving skills, especially when introduced early. Studies show that children who participate in ABA therapy experience significant growth in their ability to communicate, interact socially, and live independently.
If you believe your child could benefit from ABA services, we encourage you to reach out. Our Jacksonville team is here to provide guidance and answer any questions about our autism therapy programs.
Here at Cultivate, we understand that hearing your child has been diagnosed with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD) can feel overwhelming. It is natural for parents to worry about their child’s future and ability to function independently as they grow into adulthood.
You don’t have to go it alone.
At Cultivate, we work with each patient and their families to provide expert, engaging, individualized care. Based on the science of ABA therapy, our interventions can provide real change that can help our clients cultivate their highest potential. Our team of caring, dedicated clinicians will help walk parents through the autism treatment journey, so they can be the leader in their child’s behavior program.
