School-Based ABA Therapy in Key Largo, FL


What Is School-Based ABA Therapy?
School-based ABA therapy focuses on applying the principles of behavior analysis in the classroom or other school environments. Our trained professionals collaborate with educators to design interventions that address behaviors such as communication difficulties, social skills deficits, attention challenges, and classroom behaviors that may interfere with learning.
This approach ensures that progress is not only made during therapy sessions but also reinforced throughout the school day, creating real and lasting improvements.
