We’ve been with this autism center for a year, and it’s been an amazing experience. My son has received speech therapy, OT, ABA, and now attends school there—all under one team. From day one, the staff has been loving, caring, and welcoming, making us feel like part of the family. The communication is top-notch. They keep us updated on his progress and are always available to answer questions. We truly could not imagine our entire journey without them and their unwavering support. When it came time for him to transition to school, there was no question—this was the place for him. The care, individualized attention, and seamless process they offer are unmatched. We couldn’t be happier with the support and growth our son has experienced here. I highly recommend it!

We have been with EFAC, GLA and JMS since they first opened, and I am immensely grateful for everything they have done for my daughter. The combination of ABA, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and their school program has truly shaped who she is today. The progress she has made — in her communication, independence, and confidence — would not have been possible without the dedication and expertise of this incredible team. Every therapist, teacher, and staff member has shown patience, compassion, and genuine care. They have supported us through both the good times and the rough ones, always standing by us with encouragement and understanding. They have celebrated her victories right alongside us and given her the tools to thrive. All of her accomplishments are because of their hard work and unwavering support. We could never thank them enough.

My daughter started attending Eastern Florida Autism Center for ABA therapy in the fall of 2023 (2 years old at the time). She has made so much progress in such a short time! My daughter went from being completely non-verbal with a lot of sensory seeking tendencies to being able to communicate her wants and identifying 50+ items. Between her BCBA and all of the RBTs working with her… I can tell they truly love my girl! My daughter recently started Great Leaps Academy for preschool in conjunction with her daily ABA therapy at EFAC - and I am blown away at her development. An autism diagnosis can be such a jarring and terrifying experience for parents… but at EFAC/Great Leaps Academy - kiddos AND parents are met with so much love, grace, grit, compassion and understanding. There aren’t enough words to express how deeply I love EFAC/Great Leaps for the difference they are making in my daughter’s life.

I am so grateful for Eastern Fl Autism Center! My daughter has been coming for almost 3 years and her development and skill set has grown outstandingly. They are awesome at staying on the same page as parents and do their very best to accommodate any needs and are so loving to the children. Our daughter loves her therapists and we are just so grateful for the beautiful team EFAC has built. Thank you all for your outstanding care. .
