Question 1

What is ABA therapy?

Accepted Answer

Applied behavior analysis is a way of teaching skills and reducing behaviors that get in a child's way, built on decades of research. In practice it means breaking a skill into steps your child can succeed at, rewarding progress, and measuring whether it is actually working.

Question 2

Do you speak Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We work with families in English and in Spanish, and that includes explaining the plan, the goals, and the progress, so nothing gets lost.

Question 3

Does my child need a diagnosis first?

Accepted Answer

Call us and we will talk it through. Requirements depend on your plan and your situation, so the fastest answer is a short conversation rather than a form. Please do not send medical details through this website. Our number is (786) 432-7113.

Question 4

Who writes my child's plan?

Accepted Answer

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst, working from your child's own assessment. Not a template, and not a plan reviewed at the end by someone who never met your child.

Question 5

How do we get started?

Accepted Answer

Call (786) 432-7113 or send the short form on this page. We will call you back, learn what you need, and tell you the next step honestly, even if that step is somewhere other than here.

Question 6

Where are you located?

Accepted Answer

Our office is at 8333 NW 53rd Street, Suite 450, Doral, Florida 33166. We are open mon to fri, 8 am to 5 pm, and we are closed for lunch from 12 PM to 1 PM.

Question 7

How many hours a week will my child need?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the assessment, your child's goals, and what your plan authorizes. It can range from a few hours a week to a full program. We will tell you what we recommend and why, before you agree to anything.

Question 8

Do I have to be home during sessions?

Accepted Answer

For in-home sessions, a parent or responsible adult needs to be in the home. You do not have to sit in on every minute, but we want you nearby, because the strategies work far better when you use them too.

Question 9

Do you have a clinic we can come to?

Accepted Answer

No. We deliver care in the home, in school, and in the community. There is no center-based program, and families do not come to our Doral office for therapy.

Question 10

What is the difference between a BCBA and an RBT?

Accepted Answer

A Board Certified Behavior Analyst assesses your child, writes the treatment plan, and supervises the work. A Registered Behavior Technician delivers the sessions following that plan. Both are credentialed roles with their own training requirements.

Question 11

How often does parent training happen?

Accepted Answer

Usually on a regular schedule written into the treatment plan, often a session every week or two. The frequency depends on your goals and what your plan authorizes.

Question 12

Can I get parent training without my child in therapy with you?

Accepted Answer

Call us and we will talk it through. It depends on your plan and your situation. Our number is (786) 432-7113.

Question 13

Is it available in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We coach families in Spanish directly, including the goals, the strategies, and the progress reports.

Question 14

What if my partner and I handle things differently?

Accepted Answer

That is normal and it is one of the most useful things to work on. We would rather coach both of you together and land on one approach than teach one parent a strategy the other has not agreed to.

Question 15

How long does an assessment take?

Accepted Answer

Usually across more than one visit, and often a few weeks from first appointment to finished plan, because it includes observation, direct assessment, time with you, scoring, and writing. We will give you a realistic timeline at the start.

Question 16

Does my child need a diagnosis before an assessment?

Accepted Answer

Call us and we will talk it through. Requirements depend on your plan and your situation, so a short conversation is faster than a form. Please do not send medical details through this website. Our number is (786) 432-7113.

Question 17

What is a functional behavior assessment?

Accepted Answer

It is the part of the assessment that works out what a specific behavior is achieving for your child, such as getting attention, escaping a demand, or meeting a sensory need. Knowing that is what lets us teach a replacement skill that actually works.

Question 18

Will I see the report?

Accepted Answer

Yes. You get the findings and the plan, explained in plain language in English or Spanish, and nothing begins until you approve it.
