ABA therapy services in Miami-Dade and Broward.

Four ways we support your child and your family, all built on the same idea: start with strengths, make it fun, share the data.

One-to-one ABA therapy.

Play-based sessions in the place your child feels safest, with goals your family helped choose.

During direct one-to-one sessions we build on your child’s existing strengths while working on the skills that are hard right now. We focus on the present while looking toward the future, moving step by step up the ladder of age-appropriate goals. We use proven ABA tools to teach and shape functional communication, social skills, appropriate play, daily-living skills and much more. Most importantly, we make therapy time fun. This is a journey; let us be your guides.

Is this right for my child?

  • Has an autism diagnosis or a developmental delay, or a doctor has recommended ABA
  • Finds it hard to communicate wants and needs, play with others, or manage daily routines
  • Does better in familiar places than in clinics or waiting rooms
  • Has a family that wants to be involved and learn the strategies too

Goals we work on

  • Functional communication
  • Social skills
  • Appropriate play
  • Daily-living skills
  • Routines and transitions
  • Handling frustration
  • Safety skills
  • School-readiness skills

What a session looks like

  1. Warm-up and play

    Your child’s therapist follows their lead for a few minutes, so learning starts from something they enjoy.

  2. Skill work, disguised as fun

    Short, playful teaching moments target the goals in the plan: a request, a turn, a new word, a step of a routine.

  3. Real life, real time

    Because we are in your home, we practice where it matters: at the table, in the bathroom, with siblings, at the door.

  4. Notes and a quick chat

    Data is recorded every session. You get a short update and one thing to try before next time.

How we measure progress

Every goal has a clear definition and data behind it. Your BCBA reviews the data regularly, adjusts the plan, and shares progress with you in plain language. You will never have to guess whether therapy is working.

Who delivers the therapy

Sessions are run by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who designs and oversees the plan.

Parent training: progress that keeps going when we leave.

Practical, respectful coaching so you can use the same strategies your child’s therapist uses.

Parent training helps families across Miami-Dade and Broward understand their child and handle specific situations that come up when our therapists are not there. Transferring these skills to families speeds up progress, enriches your relationship with your child and gives you the confidence to handle challenges at home.

Is this right for my family?

  • You want to understand why certain behaviors happen and what to do in the moment
  • What works in therapy doesn’t carry over to bedtime, meals or outings
  • Other caregivers (grandparents, nannies, older siblings) want to help consistently
  • You want tools you can keep using long after therapy ends

Topics families ask for most

  • Communication and requesting
  • Routines and transitions
  • Sleep and mealtimes
  • Toileting
  • Tantrums and frustration
  • Siblings and play
  • Community outings
  • Preparing for school

What it looks like

  1. Start with your questions

    Sessions are built around the real situations you face this week.

  2. One strategy at a time

    We model it, you practice it, we adjust it together.

  3. Practice in real life

    At home, in the car, at the store: wherever the moment happens.

  4. Review and celebrate

    We look at what changed and plan the next step.

Format

In your home, alongside your child’s sessions or on its own. Offered in English and Spanish.

School consultations: one team, at home and in class.

We work with your child’s teachers, therapists and preschool staff so support is consistent everywhere.

Sometimes even superheroes need a little extra help. We offer consultation and training to preschools and schools across Miami-Dade and Broward throughout the year, and we make ourselves available to your child’s educators when a behavior shows up at school that doesn’t show up at home. A collaborative approach with educators and other professionals helps children flourish at home, in the community and in class.

Is this right for us?

  • A behavior shows up at school that you don’t see at home (or the other way around)
  • Your child’s teacher has asked for strategies or a behavior plan
  • You are preparing for an IEP (Individualized Education Program) meeting and want a behavior expert’s input
  • A preschool or program wants staff training in ABA basics

Who we work with

  • Public and private schools
  • Preschools and VPK programs
  • Daycares
  • After-school programs
  • Other therapists (speech, OT)

What we offer

  1. Classroom observation

    We observe your child in class and identify what is helping and what is getting in the way.

  2. Practical recommendations

    Clear, doable strategies for teachers and aides, written in plain language.

  3. Staff training

    Throughout the year we provide trainings to preschools and educational institutions across Miami-Dade and Broward.

  4. Ongoing collaboration

    We stay available to your child’s educators as needs change.

Tutoring that works with how your child learns.

Academic support built on ABA: more engagement, less frustration, real progress.

Our tutoring providers use a wide variety of reinforcement to enrich sessions and keep your child on task and engaged. By applying ABA principles, we take a different approach to learning that may be exactly what your child needs.

Is this right for my child?

  • Struggles to stay on task or engaged with homework
  • Learns better with clear steps, visuals and frequent feedback
  • Gets frustrated quickly and needs learning to feel safe and rewarding
  • Is receiving ABA services and could use academic support in the same style

Subjects and skills

  • Reading and phonics
  • Writing
  • Math foundations
  • Homework routines
  • Organization and study skills
  • Following multi-step instructions

How it’s different

  1. Reinforcement first

    We find what motivates your child and use it to make learning worth it.

  2. Small steps, clear wins

    Skills are broken into pieces that build on each other.

  3. Data, not guesswork

    We track what’s mastered and what needs another pass.

  4. Coordinated with school

    When helpful, we align with teachers and IEP goals.

What is ABA?

Questions parents ask first.

All questions

How quickly can we start?

We are currently accepting new clients with no wait list. Timing depends mostly on how fast your insurance approves the assessment; we help you through that step.

Will therapy feel like play or like school?

Like play. Sessions follow your child’s interests; skill work is woven into games, routines and everyday moments.

How are parents involved?

Very. You help choose the goals, you see the data, and you learn the strategies through parent training so progress continues when we’re not there.

Where do sessions happen?

In your home, and when useful, at school, preschool or in the community. We serve Miami-Dade and Broward.

How many hours per week?

It depends on your child’s assessment and your family’s schedule; your BCBA recommends a plan and your insurance authorizes the hours. We’ll explain the recommendation and why.
