We foster lifelong learning in children with ASD.
Kids playing tag-of-war

Our experts help children with autism spectrum disorder acquire the skills to be more self-sufficient despite their condition. Through Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), they nurture the potential of each child by systematically teaching them significant behaviors (to a meaningful degree). Furthermore, children will be taught behaviorally appropriate and socially significant behaviors using the principles of behavior and through our Direct ABA service in New Port Richey, Florida, to promote lifelong learning.

What Is Direct ABA Service?
Direct ABA service involves one-on-one therapy that focuses on improving specific behaviors and essential skills for daily living. These sessions are tailored to each child’s unique needs and are implemented by trained professionals such as Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) under the supervision of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). ABA is backed by decades of research and remains one of the most effective methods for helping children with ASD learn, grow, and thrive.

Areas of Focus in ABA Therapy

  • Social Skills
    Social skills are essential for children to build friendships, interact with others, and participate in group activities. Through ABA, children learn how to initiate conversations, understand social cues, and engage in cooperative play. These skills are taught using modeling, role-play, and natural reinforcement to help them become confident in everyday interactions.
  • Reading
    Reading instruction within ABA focuses on foundational literacy skills tailored to each child’s level. Therapists use step-by-step methods to teach letter recognition, phonics, comprehension, and story sequencing. This helps children build not only reading ability but also attention and cognitive flexibility.
  • Communication
    Effective communication reduces frustration and improves relationships at home, school, and in the community. ABA supports both verbal and non-verbal children by teaching expressive and receptive language skills using tools like PECS, sign language, or speech. The goal is to help children clearly express their needs, thoughts, and emotions.
  • Adaptive Learning Skills
    Adaptive learning focuses on essential self-help and daily living skills that promote independence. Children are taught tasks such as brushing teeth, following routines, dressing, and using the bathroom using ABA techniques that break tasks into small, manageable steps. Over time, these skills are generalized to real-world environments like home and school.
  • Academics
    Academic skills such as math, writing, and classroom participation are incorporated into therapy to support overall learning. ABA therapists help children improve focus, follow instructions, and complete tasks with less assistance. This allows them to thrive in structured educational settings while developing confidence in their abilities.
