Behavior Basics

ABA Therapy of St. Lucie is an independently owned center on St Lucie West Boulevard offering one-to-one and group applied behavior analysis plus parent training, with services also delivered in homes, daycares, and schools. Its published hours of 7am to 7pm are considerably wider than most clinics in the region, which helps families who cannot make standard mid-day appointments. Speech and occupational therapy are coordinated through a sister company, and the practice runs a benefits verification process at intake.

Collaborative Behavior Group operates a center on South US Highway 1 in Port St. Lucie with a structured centre-based program for ages 2 to 6 running Monday to Friday, 8:30am to 5:00pm, plus home-based services and school consultation. It also runs social skills groups. The narrow age focus of the centre program is worth noting: families with older children should ask what is offered outside that band.

Florida Autism Center in Port St. Lucie, a BlueSprig company, provides center-based and in-home applied behavior analysis with early intervention and parent guidance. Programming is organised into age bands running from birth through 18, with the older tiers reserved for existing clients, so a family starting later should confirm availability for their child age. It accepts most major insurance, Medicaid, private pay, and school contracts.
