Who We Are

Founded in 2010, Focus on Behavior was the first ABA clinic in Bay County. It was opened with the goal of increasing the availability of quality evidence-based treatment for children with autism and other special learning/behavioral needs. Today, Focus on Behavior continues to provide a valued service to the local community and is committed to continuing to grow to best meet the needs of the children and families they serve.

Individualized Therapy

While rates of skill acquisition may vary, we believe that every child can learn. We understand that each learner has unique needs and strengths and individualize our programming to best benefit each child.

Team Approach

We work to foster a collaborative relationship with parents, caregivers, teachers, and other therapists to help our clients be most successful. We value the expertise of other professionals who work with our clients and appreciate the opportunity to offer support. With parent permission, we also welcome a client’s other therapy providers to visit our clinic and observe sessions.

True To Values

Our therapy team works together on a daily basis and participates in weekly face-to-face meetings. This frequent collaboration helps us to be consistent in the quality of our services and to maintain the integrity of our core values.

Dedicated To The Field

We strive to represent the field of ABA in the best way we possibly can. With that in mind, our team works to maintain high ethical standards and to demonstrate exemplary professional conduct. We are also committed to continuing education, regularly attending and presenting at regional conferences.
