SERVICES

We provide a comprehensive suite of ABA services designed to support your child's unique development. No two children are the same, which is why every program we design is entirely customized to match your child’s strengths, interests, and immediate needs.

Comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA)

The foundation of every successful growth plan. We conduct thorough, compassionate evaluations to understand your child's unique strengths, challenges, and the underlying reasons behind specific behaviors.

  • What we do: Our BCBAs observe your child in their natural environment, interview caregivers, and build a personalized therapy roadmap.

  • How it helps: It ensures every goal we set is highly relevant, respectful of your child's individuality, and designed for sustainable progress.

One-on-One Direct ABA Therapy (In-Home & Community-Based)

High-quality care in the environments where it matters most. We provide intensive, one-on-one therapy in your home or local community settings to help your child develop essential daily, communicative, and social skills.

  • What we do: A Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) works directly with your child using play-based learning under the close supervision of a BCBA.

  • How it helps: Learning in natural environments helps children easily carry over progress to family outings, local parks, and everyday routines at home.

Comprehensive Communication & Language Development

Giving your child the power of a voice. We help children express their thoughts, needs, and feelings effectively, meeting them exactly where they are—whether they use vocal speech, signs, or devices.

  • What we do: We design customized programs using vocal speech, sign language, PECS, or AAC communication devices.

  • How it helps: Reducing communication barriers significantly decreases frustration and empowers your child to advocate for themselves.

Collaborative Parent & Caregiver Training (Coaching)

Empowering you to lead your family's journey with confidence. We believe parents are a child's first and most important teachers. We partner with you to ensure progress continues long after therapy sessions end.

  • What we do: We provide supportive, hands-on coaching with practical, easy-to-use strategies for daily routines like mealtimes, bedtime, and outings.

  • How it helps: You gain the tools and confidence to support your child's growth, fostering a calmer and more harmonious home environment.

Social Skills Groups & Peer Interaction

Building friendships and navigating social spaces with ease. Our social skills training helps children learn to connect positively with peers in highly structured, supportive environments.

  • What we do: We lead small, supervised peer groups focused on sharing, turn-taking, conversation skills, and collaborative play.

  • How it helps: Your child learns to build meaningful friendships, easing their transition into local classrooms and social settings.

School Collaboration & IEP Support

Ensuring consistency across every environment your child enters. We actively coordinate with local educators, therapists, and school systems throughout Lee County to keep your child's support team unified.

  • What we do: We consult with teachers, participate in IEP meetings, and align goals with your child's speech or occupational therapists.

  • How it helps: Guarantees a consistent, encouraging learning environment from home to school and back.
