Personalized ABA Therapy for Kids in Miami Dade

At Abacus Therapies in Miami, we offer fully customized ABA sessions tailored to each child’s unique needs. Based on their specific improvement goals, your child can attend the sessions at home or school. 

Per request, our therapists also conduct ABA sessions in Spanish, ensuring that all autistic children and their families in Miami-Dade County have access to the services they need.

But before we get into more details about our team and ABA therapy for kids in Miami, we’d like you to learn a bit more about us and applied behavior analysis (ABA).

Who We Are

Inspired by their son Max’s positive experience with applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy, Brad and Susan Fenton launched Abacus Therapies in 2017. 

The idea was to make ABA therapy for children with autism more easily accessible to families in need. Thanks to a team of highly qualified and enthusiastic ABA experts, we have succeeded in helping many children navigate the challenges of living with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). 

Of course, our journey couldn’t have been complete without the families’ trust and support. We consistently work with parents to get feedback on the therapy’s success, and also teach them how to use ABA therapy at home to support their child’s unique progress.

Today, we’re offering ABA therapy services for kids across several states – Florida, North Carolina, and Georgia. Still with the same mission — providing custom ABA therapy for kids on the spectrum. 

ABA Therapy in Miami: What to Expect 

Our team of Miami ABA therapists — Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) — use their skills, knowledge, and years of experience to provide autistic children with highly personalized, goal-oriented ABA therapy.

After your initial consultation, our BCBA will devise an in-depth improvement plan based on your child’s needs and developmental goals. 

If you opt for at-school or in-home ABA therapy in Miami, your child will attend daily sessions led by one of our highly qualified RBTs. Abacus Therapies RBTs use age-appropriate techniques, sensory tools, toys, and guided activities to help the child overcome their unique challenges while enjoying every step of the way.

Since every child is unique, specific ABA therapy goals vary greatly. Nevertheless, the ABA sessions typically revolve around the following goals: 

• Improving language, communication, and social skills
• Reducing tantrums and other undesirable behaviors
• Acquiring basic self-care skills and turning them into a routine
• Giving kids the tools necessary for better academic results
• Boosting autonomy by teaching kids how to perform everyday tasks

When Is Best to Start ABA Therapy?

Official research points to better outcomes for autistic kids who begin ABA therapy at 2 years old, or in other words, as soon as they receive a formal diagnosis. However, many children don’t get reliably diagnosed with autism until later in life, but even those who start ABA at the age of 6 can achieve positive results with the help of our experts.

Abacus Therapies has years of experience providing ABA therapy for 2-year-old kids in Miami (and older), so you can be sure your child will be in safe hands.

Throughout the treatment, Abacus therapists will track your child’s progress and adjust the program as needed. As mentioned before, to ensure there are no language barriers to kids receiving the care they need, we offer bilingual ABA therapy in Miami.

How Successful Is ABA Therapy

It’s good to know that scientific studies conducted over the last few decades have proven the effectiveness of ABA therapy as a treatment option for children with ASD. 

According to the latest stats on autism and ABA, 93.7% of caregivers of kids who have tried ABA therapy say they would recommend it to other parents. The same research confirms 93.9% have noticed considerable improvements from ABA therapy too.

However, what really warms our hearts are the kids’ smiles, joy, and improvements. We greatly appreciate the chance to participate daily in their excitement and progress, and we are happy to receive encouragement from the parents as well.
