Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)

ABA therapy is the gold standard for autism, improving communication, learning, play, behavior, social interaction, motor development, and daily living skills.

Guiding Every Journey

Building independence, confidence, and
life skills for every child

ABA Therapy is the golden standard for Autism treatment. Dating back to the 1970s, study after study has shown early and intensive ABA helps children in a wide range of areas, including compliance, instruction following, reading and language, age-appropriate play, sibling relationships, and social, motor, and self-help skills.

Our programs gives specialized instruction to children who are not currently learning like their peers. We teach children HOW to learn, then gradually reduce or eliminate the individualized support.

Success on the spectrum is a national franchise that provides ABA therapy, speech therapy, and occupational therapy to children up to age 18. Each location is individually owned (mostly by Autism parents).
Our Goal

is to teach valuable life skills that help our clients become productive and fulfilled adults in mainstream society. For example, early learners practice language skills, establish a daily routine, and learn to follow directions. We also offer potty training and food programs. Advanced children practice compliance, independence skills, and social skills that will allow them to be included with their future school peers. Children with aggression or emotional outbursts are taught self-calming strategies.

When you enroll at SOS, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) will conduct a Milestone Development Test on your child. Once we determine their current skill levels, the BCBA will create an individualized program to help your child develop the skills sets they are lacking.

Once ABA therapy begins, our Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) will work with your child 1:1 to reach each goal. Each new skill is taught through play and changes in behavior are motivated through reward systems.

Success On The Spectrum’s ABA program also incorporates field trips! While often challenging for a child with autism spectrum disorder, practicing skills in different environments help them to become “Community Ready”. Outings strengthen the skills that have been developed within our center and promote generalization. Parents are encouraged to come along on field trips, but it is not required.

When it comes to righting a child’s ship, we need all hands on deck! Parent involvement is a requirement. Our BCBAs frequently meet with parents to discuss program creation and implementation. In addition, parents have unrestricted access to our online EMR system. You can view your child’s progress reports, send secure messages to your team, and view/pay invoices.

Each week, we will provide training sessions to parents, grandparents, siblings and babysitters. Our lessons help caregivers to manage problem behaviors at home and implement a routine that will ease your daily struggles. We will also help establish functional communication between you and your child.

In Center

SOS Centers

Our nautical centers are open Monday – Friday 8:00am-4:00pm. Select centers have Before/After Care available. Select centers have weekend sessions available. We are open year-round (no summer break) with only 10 holiday closures per year.

Center-based ABA therapy is the most effective environment for children who are getting “school ready”. We focus heavily on communication and socialization. Our staff to child ratio is always one-to-one.

We believe that learning shouldn’t just occur at a desk or table located in a therapy room, but in a variety of environments! Each new lesson is taught through play and practiced in a peer group. Throughout the day, children build transition tolerance by moving into different rooms. Our centers are equipped with private staterooms, mock classrooms, art rooms, playrooms and more!

Purposeful Designs

Our Nautical Centers

Our autism therapy centers are purposefully designed with multiple specialized rooms that simulate real-world settings, allowing children to practice and apply skills beyond a single therapy space. This structured exposure helps children generalize communication, social, and life skills in meaningful ways. For families searching for autism therapy near me, Success On The Spectrum® offers more than therapy—we provide a pathway for children to succeed confidently in everyday life.

Sensory Room

Our sensory rooms are designed to create a calm, engaging environment where children with autism can safely explore, regulate emotions, and build important developmental skills through play-based learning.

Stateroom

Each child gets their own private stateroom. These quiet, individualized therapy rooms are free from distractions, allowing behavior technicians to focus on one-on-one learning. Each stateroom provides a calm, predictable space where children can master foundational skills at their own pace.

Large social rooms are open, inviting spaces designed for group interaction, cooperative play, and social skills training. Children practice sharing, turn-taking, teamwork, and real-world social behaviors in a safe and supervised environment. heir own pace.

Mock Classroom

SOS centers include mock classroom setups to help children prepare for school. Through structured practice, children learn routines such as circle time, lining up, raising hands, and following classroom rules—making the transition to daycare or public school smoother and more successful.

Playroom

Large playrooms invite children to learn while playing in a structured, and sensory-friendly environment. The space includes movement-based equipment designed to engage gross motor skills, build communication, social, and emotional skills. Every activity is intentionally designed to make learning engaging, motivating, and meaningful for each child.

Art Room

The SOS art room is a creative, sensory-friendly space where children express themselves through hands-on, play-based activities. Using painting, drawing, and crafts, therapists incorporate play-based ABA therapy to build communication, fine motor, and social skills. The environment encourages creativity, confidence, and positive self-expression in a fun and supportive setting.

SOS is proud to offer full transparency. Each center is equipped with  state-of-the-art video surveillance.

Parents have unrestricted access to our Parent Viewing Rooms, where you can watch your child and therapist working together.
