BREVARD COUNTY, FLORIDA – David and Goliath Therapy Solutions provides Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for children and young adults ages 3 to 22, with support designed around each client’s strengths, needs, and goals.
ABA examines how behavior relates to a person’s surroundings and daily experiences.
At David and Goliath Therapy Solutions, that process can include observation, assessment, and data collection to help the therapy team understand a client’s existing skills, where additional support may help, and which goals matter to the family.
The company says treatment plans are individualized and adjusted as a client’s needs change.
Skills for everyday life
ABA therapy goals can vary from person to person. David and Goliath Therapy Solutions lists communication and language, social interaction, adaptive and self-help skills, and functional play among the areas therapy may address.
These can include practicing ways to communicate needs, interact with others, participate in daily routines, or build independence with personal-care tasks.
Therapy may also address behaviors that interfere with learning or everyday activities. The company lists aggression, self-injury, and elopement as examples of challenging behaviors that may be addressed. The focus is on understanding the behavior and developing individualized strategies to support safer, more useful ways of communicating and participating.
Support in familiar settings
Services may take place at home, school, through telehealth, or in community settings.
Working in different environments gives clients opportunities to practice skills in everyday life.
David and Goliath Therapy Solutions lists in-home, school-based, telehealth, and community-care services.
A treatment plan begins with an assessment conducted by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).
According to David and Goliath Therapy Solutions, this may involve observing the client, speaking with family members, and using assessment tools to understand current skills and areas of need.
The BCBA then develops an individualized plan with measurable goals shaped by the client’s needs and family priorities.
Families are part of the process
David and Goliath Therapy Solutions also offers initial assessments, reassessments, and individualized intervention plans.
Parent and caregiver training is another service. Sessions can cover behavior-management techniques, communication strategies, and ways to support skill development during routines at home.
The company describes caregivers as active partners in therapy.
Practicing strategies across a client’s everyday routines can help reinforce skills outside of scheduled sessions and support consistency between the therapy team and family.
BCBAs oversee and design services, while Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) typically provide direct therapy under supervision.
David and Goliath Therapy Solutions tailors services to each person’s pace and circumstances, aiming to support skill development and positive behavior change.
Families can contact David and Goliath Therapy Solutions to discuss services, referrals, and insurance coverage.
The company accepts insurance and other forms of payment; coverage can be verified directly with the provider.
