Written By Miro and Company INC

You’re Not Alone—And There Is a Way Forward 🌟

If your child has been diagnosed with autism—or you’ve noticed signs like speech delays, meltdowns, or struggles with change—you may feel overwhelmed.

Take a deep breath. You’re not alone. And there is support.

At Therapist to You, we help families across Florida understand and access ABA therapy—a science-backed, child-first approach to helping children thrive. Whether it’s saying their first word or sitting through circle time without distress, ABA makes real progress possible.

What Is ABA Therapy?

ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) is an evidence-based therapy proven to help children with autism and behavior challenges build new skills while reducing behaviors that make life harder.

ABA Therapy Helps Children Learn To:

  • 🗣️ Communicate with words or gestures

  • 🧍‍♂️ Follow directions and routines

  • 🧘 Manage meltdowns and emotions

  • 🤝 Engage in social interactions

  • 🧼 Gain independence in everyday tasks

Where ABA Therapy Happens: Home or Center

At Therapist to You, we offer therapy where your child learns best—in your home or at one of our Florida-based centers. Here’s how both work:

🏠 In-Home ABA Therapy:

  • 🌈 Familiar, stress-free setting

  • 👨‍👩‍👧 Skills practiced during real-life routines
