Compassionate ABA Therapy in South Florida
We believe everyone deserves supportive opportunities to learn and grow. Providing compassionate, evidence-based ABA therapy across Broward and Palm Beach, we meet your child wherever they are.
Care That Grows With Your Child
From the living room to the classroom, we partner with families to foster growth, confidence, and meaningful progress. Together, we’ll build the skills your child and family need to thrive.
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA)
We provide ABA services designed to support communication, social, and independence goals through manageable steps. Along with this, we work to reduce challenging behaviors while celebrating progress.
Caregiver & Teacher Coaching
We provide coaching that empowers caregivers and educators with practical strategies to build skill development and manage challenging behaviors. As a result, learning environments can become more effective and supportive.
Social Skills Training
We provide social skills training because friendship, teamwork, and conversation don’t always come naturally. Through this service, we aim to build confidence, communication, teamwork, and problem-solving skills that support meaningful relationships.
Life Skills Training
We provide training that supports essential abilities like self-care, organization, communication, and problem-solving. In turn, this work can help foster greater independence, adaptability, and confidence in everyday life.
School Support
We provide tailored strategies to help students navigate challenges like organization, communication, and problem-solving. Ultimately, we aim to build confidence and resilience that contribute to positive classroom outcomes.
Client & Therapist Supervision
We provide expert supervision services intended to support quality care through consistent oversight and guidance. Additionally, we aim to uphold ethical practices and support both client outcomes and therapist growth.

Common Questions

How do you develop and customize treatment plans for my child?
Services begin with a comprehensive assessment to identify each child’s strengths, areas of need, and treatment priorities. Based on this evaluation, an individualized treatment plan is developed to target specific behaviors and skill areas, with progress monitored through defined measures. The plan is updated over time based on ongoing assessment and observed progress to maintain alignment with the child’s development.
What qualifications and experience do your ABA therapists have?
Our clinical team includes professionals with relevant training and credentials, such as Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Team members receive training in behavior analysis, ethics, and evidence-based interventions, and work with children across a range of ages and needs. Services are delivered in accordance with individualized treatment plans and clinical supervision.
Does insurance cover ABA services?
Many private insurance plans and Medicaid provide coverage for ABA therapy when there is a documented diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Coverage and eligibility vary by plan. We assist families with benefit verification and the authorization process. For more information, please visit Smile BIG Accepted Insurances.
What are the settings and structure of your ABA services?
ABA services are offered in a variety of settings, including in-home, community, or school environments, based on each child’s individualized needs and service availability. Sessions may include one-on-one support and are structured around individualized goals, skill development, and behavior support strategies. Communication and progress tracking are incorporated to provide ongoing updates and support care coordination.
