In our school-based ABA therapy, we partner with educational teams to support students directly within their learning environments. By integrating therapeutic strategies into the school day, we help children build the tools they need to thrive both academically and socially. As part of our commitment to high-quality care, we implement evidence based therapy in Miami, Florida, ensuring that every strategy used in the classroom is grounded in proven methodologies.
Our therapists address challenges such as focus, transitions, and communication in real-time, where the child naturally encounters them. We also provide teachers and staff with insights and tools to reinforce progress throughout the day. A united effort leads to better outcomes and a more seamless school journey. Learning environments should foster an atmosphere where every child can thrive and excel.
Who Can Benefit from School-Based ABA Therapy?
School-based ABA therapy is highly beneficial for students with developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ADHD, and behavioral challenges. It also supports children who struggle with executive functioning, social skills, or communication barriers. These services are ideal for students who need consistent support during school hours to enhance both their learning and behavior in a structured setting.
Teachers and school staff also benefit, as ABA therapists provide ongoing feedback, strategies, and guidance that strengthen classroom management and individualized support plans. This collaboration supports the entire educational ecosystem, making it easier for all students to succeed.
How School-Based ABA Therapy Works for You
Our therapists work directly in classrooms and other school settings, providing targeted interventions during academic tasks, social interactions, and transitions. The goal is to deliver support in the moment, helping students generalize their skills where they’re needed most.
Therapy sessions may include individualized behavior plans, data tracking, one-on-one support, and collaboration with school teams. Therapists observe, intervene, and adapt strategies to help students stay engaged, reduce problematic behaviors, and reach academic and social milestones.
