The science of ABA has developed from a large body of evidence-based research over the last several decades. Baer, Wolf, & Risley defined this science best in 1968: “Applied Behavior Analysis is the process of systematically applying interventions based upon the principles of learning theory to improve socially significant behaviors to a meaningful degree, and to demonstrate that the interventions employed are responsible for the improvement in behavior.”

There is no “one-size-fits-all” ABA program.  Your child is unique and has specific strengths and weaknesses requiring a program designed to meet their individual needs.  An ABA program consists of 20 to 40 hours per week of intensive one on one teaching.  Bridging the gap between chronological and developmental age is the ultimate goal of a treatment program.   A Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) can assess your child and develop an individual behavior plan.

Treatment plans break down the target skills into manageable steps to be systematically taught.  Treatment includes ongoing objective measurement of the learner’s progress using various data collection methods.  After your child’s assessment the BCBA will make a recommendation concerning a home-based or clinic setting for treatment.

The “Window of Opportunity Act” passed by the Florida Senate in 2008 authorized AHCA to seek federal approval through a state plan amendment to provide home and community-based services for autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities. Effective April 1, 2009, the Florida Legislature enacted required coverage for autism spectrum disorders. This applies to large group (over 50 employees) health plans.

ABA Therapy Solutions began in 2012 by Linda Peirce, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who has worked in schools, homes, and community settings. Her educational background includes a degree in Psychology, Masters in Educational Psychology, and all but her dissertation in Exceptional Student Education.
