ABA Therapy service by Behavioral for Kids

Who we help

We support children with autism and related behavioral needs who benefit from structured, data-driven teaching. Goals commonly focus on communication, social skills, daily living, school readiness, and reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning or safety. Parent training is built into every program so strategies continue at home.

Caregivers in Miami Lakes, Hialeah, Miami Gardens, and nearby communities often start with our Miami Lakes ABA therapy page for local clinic details, then confirm insurance or scholarship pathways during intake.

Settings: clinic, home, and school

  • Clinic-based ABA at our Miami Lakes location (5729 NW 151st St Ste B)—structured sessions with supervised therapists.
  • In-home ABA when authorized, so skills practice happens in everyday routines.
  • School-based ABA when authorized and coordinated with the school team.

The right setting depends on your child’s goals, authorization, and family logistics. Read our ABA therapy guide for a deeper overview of what therapy involves before you call.

Insurance, Medicaid, and scholarships

Many Florida families use Medicaid managed care, commercial insurance, or education scholarships for ABA. Coverage always depends on the child’s plan, medical necessity, and authorization—not a website claim.

Explore our insurance & funding hub, the Florida Medicaid ABA guide, and Step Up For Students / FES-UA (a scholarship pathway, separate from Medicaid).
