About Company:
We focus on comprehensive individualized programs with a 1:1, 2:1,
and 3:1 student/teacher ratio, in a classroom setting that is
unique in Southeast Florida. Most children with autism and their
families do not have access to tailored, research-based
programs.
We provide intensive therapy based upon the principles of Applied
Behavior Analysis (ABA), in particular those associated with B.F.
Skinner's (1957) analysis of verbal behavior. This form of therapy
is typically provided to children with autism in home-based
programs. ABA is a scientifically proven, systematic approach to
the assessment, treatment, and evaluation of behavior, developing
functional life skills, nurturing a greater command of language,
and decreasing maladaptive behavior such as self-injury and
aggression.
The Victory Center, Inc. is a Florida-based, 501(c)(3)
non-sectarian nonprofit corporation that provides children with
autism and related disabilities comprehensive individualized
treatment.
