Looking for a Step Up for Students Provider in Florida?

Saltwater Alchemy ABA is an approved Step Up for Students provider serving eligible Florida families, including those using the Family Empowerment Scholarship for Students with Unique Abilities (FES-UA). Whether your child is autistic or otherwise neurodivergent, struggling with executive functioning or emotional regulation, experiencing anxiety and avoidance, falling behind despite clearly having the ability to succeed, or caught in a cycle of challenging behavior that no one seems to understand, you do not have to arrive already knowing exactly what kind of help to ask for. Our services may include ABA therapy and behavioral support, Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT)-informed interventions, executive functioning and emotional regulation skill development, behavior reduction and caregiver coaching, Functional Behavior Assessments (FBAs), Behavior Intervention Plans (BIPs), educational consultation and school support, and comprehensive assessments, including the VB-MAPP, ABLLS-R, AFLS, PEAK, EFL, ESDM, Vineland-3, and Socially Savvy, when clinically appropriate. For families using FES-UA funds, eligible behavioral services may include individualized assessment, behavioral support, caregiver consultation, and other services provided within the scope of the scholarship and the individual's needs.

Maybe you have spent months trying to find the right words for what you are seeing, have a folder full of evaluations you barely understand, an IEP that does not seem to describe the child you know, a phone filled with messages from the school, or a child who is beginning to believe that struggling means they are failing. We understand that often, a family does not need another professional telling them what is wrong with their child; they need someone willing to look beneath the surface, understand what has been missed, and help them find a successful way forward!
