WHAT WE DO
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) focuses on the reduction of maladaptive behaviors that can interfere with learning and independent living. We focus on reducing these maladaptive behaviors by teaching and increasing more functional replacement skills. These replacement skills can include but are not limited to functional communication, social skills, daily living skills, conversation skills, and certain academic skills.

The field of ABA involves only implementing evidence-based interventions. This means the interventions utilized have a strong theoretical basis, tested rigorously, and peer reviewed. Socially Significant ABA focuses on not only just reducing maladaptive behaviors but also teaching and reinforcing skills that is needed to live as independently as possible. ABA involves active data-based decision making throughout services. This means our analysts and behavior technicians continually measure and record progress. The data is graphed and analyzed to help our staff make the most informed design on your child’s intervention.
We are excited to share that we won Best Therapy in Palm Bay!


OUR PHILOSOPHY 
Socially Significant Applied Behavior Analysis believes in using an individualized approach to address and identify target areas for behavioral improvement to help children ages 2 to 21 succeed in the home, school, and community settings reaching socially significant outcomes. To achieve these positive lifetime changes, we, at SSABA utilize a variety of evidence-based treatments backed by the principles of applied behavior analysis including, but not limited to:

  • discrete trial training
  • intense trial training
  • functional communication training
  • natural environment training
  • precision teaching
  • other methods for direct instruction

Of course, our team utilizes a variety of assessments and tools to ensure your child receives the best treatment plan possible. SSABA’s goal is to enable each client with the life preserver to succeed in whatever setting they find themselves. We provide Life Saving Therapy!

You will also find that Socially Significant ABA is different from other services in the Behavior Analysis field because we work on behavior deficits that are the root cause for maladaptive behaviors and barriers to learning and independent living such as communication, academic, social, daily living, and motor skills. We also believe in an all-inclusive TEAM approach to your child’s progress by working with all caregivers to ensure the best experience and outcome for everyone involved. Working together as a TEAM and having all stakeholders involved in treatment is the best path to reach goals that are functional and socially significant.
Together, we are and will be Socially Significant!
