“(My child) started ABA therapy 1 month before his fourth birthday so I was really worried that he wouldn’t have much improvement. When he started he had very few words and didn’t use them often, he could go a whole day without use of any words. His receptive language was very poor. And I couldn’t get him to sit and do any work. In the beginning I didn’t see much progress and I was starting to worry and wonder if I was making the right decision. But at about 6 months in he started imitating. And soon after that I (could) get him to look at me even though he didn’t exactly know what was expected, he still (tried) to look for cues. Today he uses many words, he labels and follows some commands. He can feed himself and can sit at a table and work on a 24-piece puzzle. I loved taking him to Spark Center, they were all very professional, knowledgeable and resourceful. The staff was energetic and caring, you could tell they all loved what they did. The facility is clean and organized and safe. The BCBAs that are there are amazing, they are hands (on), are there on most days to report to parents and answer any questions. I also enjoyed the monthly parent meetings that were held. The meetings provided parents with good useful information. (My child) who is very attached to me would run in and when I lingered a little too long he would come up to me and say bye and sometimes would escort me to the door. Everyday that I picked him up I received updates along with the daily (note). I have recommended Spark to anyone that was interested in ABA for (their) child.”

"We can not say enough good things about The Spark Center. Our daughter attended Spark for 2.5 years and we saw continuous progress from the very first week. They addressed any questions or concerns we ever had with the utmost professionalism and respect to us and to her. Our daughter is now doing well in a mainstream classroom. We are so thankful for our daughter’s time at Spark, we honestly do not know where our family would be today without their services. Our daughter’s Autism diagnosis led to a lot of questions and unknowns about her future, The Spark Center helped us answer those questions and realize a wonderful future for our girl. We recommend them highly to anyone looking for a high quality and caring ABA provider for their child.”

“We had the very best experience at Spark! Our son made wonderful progress while he was there, and he loved going every day. Everybody there is professional, warm and caring. We miss everyone and judge every place we look at based on our experiences there. The only reason we left is due to an out of state move, but if an office opens up in Tampa, we’ll be the first to sign up!”
