ABA therapy is one of the most well-researched and widely recognized approaches for supporting children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental or behavioral challenges. At Bloom, our ABA services are designed to be meaningful, individualized, and family-centered—helping children build real-life skills that support communication, independence, learning readiness, and a greater quality of life.
What Is ABA Therapy?
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach that focuses on understanding behavior and teaching skills that matter most in everyday life. ABA helps children learn new skills while reducing behaviors that may interfere with learning, safety, or social development.
In a pediatric setting, ABA therapy is commonly used to support:
- communication development (verbal language, nonverbal communication, AAC)
- social skills (joint attention, play skills, peer interaction)
- daily living skills (ADLs such as dressing, toileting, hygiene)
- learning readiness (attention, following directions, transitioning)
- behavioral support (emotional regulation, coping skills, flexibility)
- independence across home, school, and community routines
ABA therapy is not one-size-fits-all. At Bloom, we focus on treatment that is compassionate, realistic, and aligned with each child’s needs and developmental stage.
ABA Therapy at Bloom: A Personalized, Compassionate Approach
At Bloom Behavioral Solutions, we approach every child with empathy, patience, and respect. Our goal is to support development in a way that strengthens the child and supports the entire family.
We begin with comprehensive assessment and collaboration. From there, our team builds a customized treatment plan that targets socially significant skills—meaning skills that help your child thrive in their real world, not just inside a therapy room.
Individualized ABA Therapy Plans
Each ABA treatment plan is built around your child’s current strengths and priority developmental needs. Programs may address:
- functional communication
- social engagement and play skills
- language development and early learning goals
- behavior reduction through skill-building
- school readiness and group participation skills
- adaptive living and independence goals
Plans are updated as your child grows and progresses. Our therapists collect data and monitor outcomes so services remain effective, targeted, and meaningful.
Early Intervention ABA Therapy (Ages 18 Months–5)
Early intervention is one of the most impactful windows for growth and development. If your child is between 18 months and 5 years old, early intensive ABA therapy can help strengthen foundational skills at a time when the brain is developing rapidly.
Bloom offers early intervention ABA through programs designed to support:
- early communication and language growth
- increased social attention and engagement
- play development (functional play → pretend play)
- improved transitions and flexibility
- reducing frustration by increasing communication skills
For families in Jacksonville, Atlantic Beach, Neptune Beach, Jacksonville Beach, Ponte Vedra, and St. Johns County, early intervention can be the start of a major developmental shift. The earlier we begin supporting core skills, the more momentum we can build over time.
Who Provides ABA Therapy at Bloom?
ABA therapy at Bloom is delivered by a team of trained professionals who are dedicated to high-quality care. Services may involve:
- Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) who oversee treatment plans and progress
- Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) who provide 1:1 therapy sessions
- multidisciplinary collaboration when additional services are part of the care plan
Because Bloom is a multidisciplinary clinic, families often benefit from coordinated care with other pediatric therapies including speech therapy, occupational therapy, feeding intervention, caregiver training, and early intervention services.
Family-Centered ABA Therapy: Parents as Partners
At Bloom, we believe families are essential partners in the therapy process. ABA is most effective when skills are practiced beyond the clinic—at home, in the community, and during everyday routines.
We work closely with parents and caregivers by providing:
- ongoing guidance and support
- caregiver training and practical strategies
- clear communication about goals and progress
- collaboration to support routines at home and school
Our goal is not only to help your child develop skills—it’s to help your family feel confident, informed, and supported at every stage.
Common Reasons Families Seek ABA Therapy
Families often contact us when they notice their child may benefit from additional support. ABA therapy may be appropriate if your child is experiencing challenges such as:
- delayed communication or limited language
- difficulty with transitions or routine changes
- frequent frustration, tantrums, or emotional dysregulation
- difficulty engaging socially or with peers
- struggles with attention and following directions
- behavior challenges that impact learning or family life
If you are unsure whether ABA is the right fit, our team can help guide you through next steps and determine what level of support may be appropriate.
