Better Behavior Analytics — Better behavior for a brighter future

Why ABA matters

Early, consistent support changes outcomes for life

Autism affects 1 in 36 children in the United States. Applied Behavior Analysis is the only autism therapy recognized as evidence-based by the U.S. Surgeon General and the American Psychological Association. The earlier it begins — and the more consistent it is — the greater the impact on communication, independence, and quality of life.

💬

Communication breakthroughs

ABA helps children develop functional communication — from first words and requesting, to expressing feelings and building conversations that connect them with the world around them.

🏠

Skills that transfer home

Therapy happens in your child's real environment. Skills learned here generalize — they stick at school, at the grocery store, and at grandma's house. We also coordinate with your child's school team and IEP when it helps.

📈

Progress you can actually read

We're called Better Behavior Analytics for a reason. Every session is tracked, every gain is charted, and every week you get a plain-language report showing exactly what's working — and why. No guessing. No "we think it's going well."

🤝

The whole family benefits

Research shows that caregiver training alongside ABA doubles the rate of skill generalization. We coach you directly — so the progress doesn't stop when we leave the house.

What we offer

Support for your whole family, not just your child

Every plan is written in plain language and shared with you at every step.

🧡

ABA therapy

We don't hand you a program. We study your child — how they communicate, what lights them up, where they get stuck — and build from there. Every treatment plan is designed from scratch by a BCBA who has actually watched your child in their own home.

Individualized treatment plans — built on a detailed assessment of your child's skills, preferences, and goals
Natural environment teaching — skills practiced in real-life settings so they actually generalize
Weekly data reviews — trend lines, plain-language summaries, and honest conversations about what's working
ACT-based, no aversives — we build trust before pushing limits; your child's assent always matters

Ages 2–14 1-on-1 sessions in-home or virtual IEP coordination

🤝

Caregiver coaching

You're the one there at 7am, at dinner, at bedtime. So we coach you, not just your child. Because what happens in sessions has to work in your actual house — on a Tuesday, when nothing is going according to plan.

Meltdown strategies that work — practical de-escalation tools tailored to your child's specific triggers
Routine & transition support — predictable routines that reduce anxiety and prevent blow-ups
Reinforcement coaching — learn exactly how to reward progress in ways that motivate your child
Caregiver well-being — a supported parent raises a thriving child; we check in on you too

parent-led judgment-free in your home

Ongoing support that grows with your family — from early intervention through school transitions, social milestones, and beyond.

Why Alyssa started this

From a CNA at 18 to the BCBA she wishes these families had sooner

Alyssa's path into ABA didn't start in a classroom. It started at 18, working as a CNA at a residential institution for adults with disabilities — watching people get overlooked and underestimated simply because of a diagnosis or their age. That experience gave her a conviction that has never wavered: every person, at any age, has the ability to learn, grow, and live a more fulfilling life.

Over the next fifteen years, she moved through therapeutic mentoring, RBT work, and Behavioral Clinician and Residential Supervisor roles with the Department of Developmental Services. She earned a Master's in Special Education. She became a BCBA. And she developed a clear picture of what was missing for families in Lee County — a practice that brings real expertise into the home, treats caregivers as partners rather than bystanders, and measures everything so families never have to wonder if it's working.

That's what Better Behavior Analytics is. Not a franchise, not a referral mill. Alyssa's practice, built from the ground up, for the families she kept meeting who needed something better.

"The diagnosis isn't the story. It's the first sentence. Let's write the rest of it together."

Common questions

Honest answers, before you ask

What ages do you serve? +

We primarily serve children ages 2 through 14 — toddlers just beginning their autism journey through early teens navigating school and growing independence. Research strongly supports starting ABA as early as possible, but it is never too late to benefit from behavioral support. Our Level-Up Social Club separately serves young men ages 16–21.

Do you accept insurance? +

Florida law (the Florida Autism Insurance Mandate) requires most major insurers to cover ABA therapy for autism. We help families navigate their coverage during the free consultation — understanding your plan, walking through prior authorization, and handling each step of the process with you. We help you navigate insurance — ask us on your first call. No guessing, no surprises left for you to figure out alone.

How soon can we get started? +

Most families hear back within one business day of reaching out. We currently have 3 openings — there is no months-long waitlist here. We typically begin building your child's treatment plan within the first week or two of your initial call.

Do you come to our home? +

Yes. Most families choose in-home sessions because your child learns best in the environment they already know — their own space, with their own routines. Virtual and hybrid options are also available if that works better for your family.

What if my child has had a difficult experience with therapy before? +

We hear this often and we take it seriously. Our approach never uses aversives or physical restraint — ever. We go slowly, build trust first, and your child always has the right to take breaks and give assent before any activity. You are in the room and in the decisions the entire time. Many families come to us after a difficult experience elsewhere, and rebuilding that trust is something we approach with intention and care.

What is the Level-Up Social Club? +

Level-Up Social Club is our structured social skills program for young men ages 16–21 with autism. Members meet in small, BCBA-supervised groups to practice real-world social skills — starting conversations, reading the room, navigating friendships — in a safe, judgment-free space. It has its own dedicated site at level-up-sc.com.
