Why should you choose Florida Autism Center?
 STAFF: ALL of our staff members receive daily supervision by a
Board Certified Behavior Analyst. ALL of our staff members are
employees of our company, not independent contractors. This
means each member of our staff undergoes the same training and
we expect commitment to your child. Agencies employing
independent contractors do not, by law, tell contractors how to do
their jobs, meaning you get ‘the luck of the draw’ with your
provider.
SUPPORT: Florida Autism Center recognizes your need for support
in other settings. We gladly help you prepare for IEP meetings,
complete funding applications, and accompany you to meetings or
events that you may need our support.
SOCIAL OPPORTUNITIES: Social settings and activities are provided
daily for children receiving service in our clinic. Florida Autism
Center provides the best social experience of any provider of our
kind. You will frequently find our children engaged in circle time,
friendship building, game play and other great activities.
TRANSITION: Children in our program have opportunities, once
they are ready, to have our staff help them transition to ‘regular’
programs. Also, for children receiving in-center service, we provide
wrap services to the home or to other settings as needed.
 PARENT INVOLVEMENT: Florida Autism Center has an open door
policy. You are always welcome and encouraged to be a part of your
child’s education. Parent training in basic principles of behavior as
well as specific programs for your child is highly recommended.
NORMALCY: Many special educational programs are so far removed
from typical educational practices that children miss out on certain‘rights of passage.’ Florida Autism Center has book fairs, picture
day, field trips and other events that a child deserves to experience
regardless of disability.
COMPETITIVE RATES: Florida Autism Center has some of the best
rates of any local program. Also, no program will work harder than
Florida Autism Center to help you find scholarships, loans, or other
financial assistance. Many funding types accepted. We’ll work with
you. Scholarship programs are available for those who qualify.
INDIVIDUALIZED PROGRAMMING: Your child is never a number at
Florida Autism Center. Each piece of your child’s program is
specifically for him or her. If you child is, for example, completing
math at an 8th grade level but non-verbal, that’s not a problem for
us. We will foster his or her math skills while creating intensive
instruction for language acquisition.
PROGRESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY: Your child WILL make progress
in our program. We can’t make your guarantees, because Applied
Behavior Analysis is not a magic pill, but we CAN tell you that your
child will be learning. We’ll guarantee to SHOW you progress
through program mastery and we’ll promise to give you daily and
monthly progress reports so that you’ll know we’re making socially
significant change.
 HAPPY KIDS: Florida Autism Center’s staff members have worked
with many children with autism and related diagnoses. Our love for
our job shows, and, quite simply, our kids know that we really like
them. Kids aren’t seen as a burden, instead they are cause for
celebration. We enjoy seeing your child learn something new
perhaps as much as you do, and we certainly share our enthusiasm
with each child we’re lucky enough to get to know. 99% of the time
our kids are dropped off and picked up smiling. When you pair your
child’s happiness in our program with their success in the program,
there’s clearly every reason to choose Florida Autism Center. |
