Teen ABA therapy.
Specialized ABA therapy for adolescents in Orlando. Age-appropriate goals focused on independence, life skills, and social success.
ABA isn't just for young children.
Many people assume ABA therapy is only for toddlers and young children. This is a misconception. Adolescents and teenagers with autism benefit greatly from ABA therapy — especially when programs are designed with age-appropriate goals and methods that respect their growing independence and identity.
Our teen programs serve individuals ages 13–18 with autism spectrum disorder, including those diagnosed early who continue to need support, teens newly diagnosed during adolescence, and young adults preparing for independence and post-secondary life.
- Age-appropriate, teen-centered goal setting
- BCBA-designed individualized programs
- Community-based activities and job exploration
- Peer interaction and social skill-building opportunities
- Transition planning for post-secondary independence
What we focus on.
Our teen programs target the skills that matter most for adolescents moving toward independence and a fulfilling adult life.
Life Skills
Cooking, budgeting, transportation, and other functional skills for independent living.
Social Skills
Peer relationships, conversation skills, and navigating complex social situations.
Vocational Readiness
Work behavior, job exploration, and skills for entering the workforce with confidence.
Academic Support
School success strategies, study habits, and classroom behavior aligned with IEP goals.
Emotional Regulation
Coping strategies, anxiety management, and building flexibility in daily routines.

Safety skills and confidence to navigate community settings independently.
Working with schools & families.
We work closely with IEP teams, school counselors, and parents to ensure therapy goals align with school expectations and long-term plans. Transition planning for post-secondary education, employment, and independent living is a key focus for our older clients.
“When adolescents feel respected and heard — and their goals are set collaboratively — engagement and progress improve dramatically.”

Frequently asked questions.
No. ABA therapy is effective at any age. Teens often make significant progress in life skills, social communication, and emotional regulation. It is never too late to start.
Our therapists build strong rapport with teens and involve them in setting goals. When adolescents feel respected and heard, engagement improves dramatically.
Some individuals are not diagnosed with autism until adolescence or adulthood. We offer autism testing services and can help guide you through the evaluation and intake process.
