At South Academy Learning Center, we celebrate differences, guide strengths, and leverage the power of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, a scientifically validated method for autism treatment, to facilitate growth and development. ABA therapy is for children aged 18 months to 5 years.

Our board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) create personalized ABA therapy plans focused on each child’s amazing abilities, unique needs, and goals. We ensure every step in your child’s developmental journey is meaningful and joyful.

Our ABA therapy program includes:

• Assessments: We identify your child’s strengths and design interventions to help them grow and learn through play-based activities.
• Treatment Plans: Our board-certified behavior analysts (BCBAs) create customized plans to support your child’s goals and encourage growth.
• Environment-Based Learning: We combine proven ABA methods with daily activities—and play—to help your child develop essential life skills in various settings.
• Comprehensive Teaching Methods: We integrate learning opportunities into everyday activities to ensure skills generalize across a variety of settings, activities, and people. We help children learn the necessary skills to improve their quality of life through Natural Environment Teaching (NET), Incidental Teaching, Pivotal Response Teaching (PRT), and Discrete Trail Teaching (DTT) methods.

Teamwork: We believe in the power of collaboration. Through hands-on coaching of ABA principles, we empower you to support your child’s development at home and in the community.
