What Are ABA Therapy Services?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy services aim to improve communication, social skills, and independence, fostering growth and enhancing quality of life for those receiving treatment.
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy focuses on understanding and changing behavior. It’s often used to help people, particularly those with autism, develop new skills and decrease behaviors that may be harmful or interfere with learning. ABA therapists use techniques such as:
- positive reinforcement
- prompting
- shaping
These techniques teach desired behaviors and reduce unwanted ones. Sessions are typically structured, with specific goals tailored to each individual’s needs.
What to Expect from ABA Therapy in the Bahamas
Currently, we are in the process of setting up our operations in The Bahamas and anticipate commencing services in the month of August 2024. Our primary focus will be on delivering Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) interventions in homes, schools, and various social settings. Additionally, we are committed to offering training for parents and fostering awareness about Autism and other mental or developmental challenges within our communities.
During this phase, we are pleased to offer complimentary virtual consultations to all parents, teachers, and legal guardians. These sessions provide an opportunity to meet directly with one of our esteemed Board Certified Behavioral Analysts. They will offer personalized guidance, create a behavior intervention plan, address individual circumstances, and facilitate registration for our upcoming launch.
Further details regarding our official opening date will be communicated through updates on our website, phone alerts, social media platforms, and optimized search engine channels.

Changing Education & The World
With Behavioral Science
Comprehensive assessments of a child including interviews, questionnaires, direct observations and experimentally manipulating variables to identify the root of the issue(s). A treatment plan is then created, with parental consent, to address what you’re most concerned about.
Individualized ABA services in your child’s most natural environment – your home. We assign a core clinical team to implement a treatment plan and work with you to ensure you learn the latest and most effective strategies that benefit your child so you feel confident in supporting your child when your ABA team is not present.
Clinic-based services are available to provide your child an enriched environment to acquire skills rapidly, practice learned skills with peers, so they can then generalize back to their home environments.
Our social skills program aims to increase progress on program goals that can be generalized amongst their peers. The focus is to create opportunities for social interaction, introduce games and play activities, and work on the generalization of treatment goals within a peer group setting.
We are a leader in school-based consultation services across the country. Our trained technicians will support and partner with your school district to provide the recommended assistance needed to help your student(s) access curriculum in the least restrictive educational environment.
Our behavior coaching program for young adults ages 17-30 is aimed at using evidence-based strategies in self management to support what they want in life, create goals, measure their progress, report it out for accountability purposes, identify their progress, and experience the rewards of their accomplishments. This service is a membership-based private pay program that is conducted in a small group clinic setting or remote.
We offer ABA consultation services to adult group homes, day programs, and other residential facilities. We have leading experts in the field of ABA with decades of experience working with adults with developmental disabilities. Our team will conduct a comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessment and Individualized Emergency Intervention Plan (IEIP).
We are equipped with HIPAA-compliant technology to offer remote consultation, supervision, and assessment services as well as direct intervention services when applicable. Remote consultation is a great way to offer a non-intrusive solution to support caregivers with a bluetooth earpiece and video conferencing equipment.
