implements Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) programs with an emphasis on verbal
behavior. Our skill acquisition
programs, customized for each child's learning needs, focus on evoking language
and communication, self-help skills, compliance behavior and appropriate peer

provide discreet trial teaching in addition to natural environment teaching,
while using error-less learning techniques. To maintain a consistent level of quality, our Board

Behavioral Consulting of Tampa Bay
compared the rate of development in 18 clients who were between the ages of 2

week for 5 months. We found, on
average, the group more than doubled their
original skill set. Based on these findings, we're
confident that all children, regardless of skill deficits, diagnosis, or
behavior, can learn skills and develop behaviors never before thought possible
if a quality behavior analysis program is implemented.
