ABA Therapy

Board-certified behavior analyst working one-on-one with a child during an ABA therapy session

ABA THERAPY AT HERNANDEZ MENTAL HEALTH

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is the gold-standard treatment for autism, ADHD, and other developmental challenges. Our board-certified team designs data-driven programs that fit your child’s goals, daily routines, and learning style—helping them master communication, social, and adaptive-life skills while reducing problem behaviors.

FUNCTIONAL BEHAVIOR ASSESSMENTS (FBA)

A BCBA conducts direct observations, caregiver interviews, and skills testing to pinpoint the “why” behind each behavior. The results drive all goal-setting and intervention choices.

EARLY-START ABA (AGES 2-6)

Intensive, play-based sessions scheduled 25–40 hours per week to leverage brain plasticity and accelerate language, imitation, and self-help milestones.

CENTER-BASED 1-ON-1 THERAPY

Structured learning in our Coral Gables clinic, equipped with discrete-trial workstations, naturalistic play zones, and real-time data capture for precise progress tracking.

HOME-BASED ABA SERVICES

Therapist visits integrate skill practice into meals, chores, and bedtime routines, ensuring generalization where it matters most—your child’s natural environment.

SCHOOL & COMMUNITY SUPPORT

On-site RBTs collaborate with teachers and IEP teams, adapting interventions for classrooms, playgrounds, and extracurricular activities.

PARENT & CAREGIVER TRAINING

Live modeling, video feedback, and easy-to-follow guides give families the confidence to use ABA techniques outside of sessions, multiplying every gain.
