Better Life Behavioral Services of Central Florida was established in 2011. Throughout the years, we have strived to be professionals delivering medically necessary Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) for kids of all ages. ABA is a scientifically based therapy that utilizes the principles of behavior to produce meaningful changes in behavior, both clinically and socially. It is recognized by the Surgeon General and the CDC as an effective therapy for Autism. Our skilled professionals promote the development of all types of skills and reduce behavioral excesses that hinder communication, learning, development, and relationships with family and peers. Our Applied Behavior Analysis services are provided in the clinic and school setting. The well-kept secret is that the principles of learning can be applied to ALL behavior.
Better Life Behavioral Services provides services that are designed to reduce problem behaviors ranging from aggression to task avoidance. What is crucial is the development of appropriate replacement behaviors as they are vital to our clients’ progress. Applied Behavior Analysis therapy is different from traditional behavioral health therapy appointments with traditional therapies (Mental Health Counselors, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, etc.) where you may be seen every month, every few months, or every year. Applied Behavior Analysis services are more intensive and can range from a few hours per week to 40 combined hours per week with professionals of different skill levels and depending on the needs of the child. Communication and social skills are always a focal point of therapy. POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT is what you will see and hear when you walk through our clinic or in the school setting with one of our therapists. Your child will know how wonderful they are doing when they are learning and engaging in desired behavior. We employ methods that provide many learning opportunities for skill acquisition. Due to the intensive therapy, you will likely notice changes shortly after starting therapy. Our goal is that your child will not even know they are in therapy.
