Can we have ABA at home instead of driving to the center?
Yes. For many Highlands County families, in-home ABA therapy is the easiest way to start, and skills are practiced in the routines where they matter most. The Sebring center is there when you want a structured setting or a change of scene.
Our team can also work with your child at school, at daycare and in the community, and join IEP meetings, doctor visits and other hard appointments where we are allowed.
