About Company

We focus on comprehensive individualized programs with a 1 : 1, 2 : 1, and 3 : 1 student / teacher ratio, in a classroom setting that is unique in Southeast Florida.

Most children with autism and their families do not have access to tailored, research-based programs.

We provide intensive therapy based upon the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), in particular those associated with B.

F. Skinner’s (1957) analysis of verbal behavior. This form of therapy is typically provided to children with autism in home-based programs.

ABA is a scientifically proven, systematic approach to the assessment, treatment, and evaluation of behavior, developing functional life skills, nurturing a greater command of language, and decreasing maladaptive behavior such as self-injury and aggression.
