Answers for Brevard Families

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children with autism build communication, social, and independence skills while easing behaviors that get in the way of learning. Skills are broken into small, teachable steps and taught through play and everyday routines. Every program is individualized and led by a board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA).

Yes. We are currently accepting new families at our Cocoa center and for in-home and school-based services across Brevard County. Call (321) 633-5511 or send us a message and we will tell you what the timeline looks like for your child.

We are in-network with Tricare, Cigna, Evernorth, Aetna, BlueCross BlueShield, Optum, and ChampVA, and we work with other plans as well. Most families pay a copay or coinsurance set by their plan. We verify your child's benefits before you start and tell you what to expect, so there are no surprises.

In most cases, insurance requires an autism diagnosis and a prescription or referral for ABA therapy. We will walk you through exactly what your plan requires and help with the next steps. If you are still waiting on an evaluation, our free parent training is open to every family in the meantime.

Sessions are active and often look like play. A therapist works on your child's goals through games, routines, and natural activities, rewarding progress along the way. Depending on the goals, a session might include practicing requests during snack, taking turns in a game, or working through a morning routine step by step. Sessions can take place in our center, your home, or your child's school.

A BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst), a master's-level clinician, assesses your child, designs the program, and oversees progress. Day-to-day sessions are delivered by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), trained therapists who work directly with your child under that BCBA's supervision. Your BCBA observes sessions regularly, reviews the data, and meets with you about how things are going.

It depends on your child's needs and goals. After the assessment, your BCBA recommends a number of hours per week and explains the reasoning, and your insurance plan authorizes a set amount. Plans are reviewed regularly and adjusted as your child grows.

We work with children and young people ages 2 to 22, and many of our families start when their child is a toddler or preschooler.

Yes to all three. We offer ABA therapy in our Cocoa center, in your home, and in school settings. Your BCBA recommends the setting, or combination of settings, that best fits your child's needs.

We serve families throughout Brevard County, including Cocoa, Rockledge, Merritt Island, Cocoa Beach, Titusville, Melbourne, and Viera. We have one location, at 453 King Street in Cocoa.

Call (321) 633-5511 or send us a message. We gather a few basic details, verify your insurance, and schedule your child's assessment with a BCBA. Therapy starts once your plan authorizes the hours.

Your BCBA sets specific goals with you, and every session collects data on those goals. You will see that progress in regular reviews, and if something is not moving, the plan changes. You should never be guessing about how your child is doing.
