Shelby’s Behavior Solutions

What Shelby’s Behavior Solutions does

Shelby's Behavior Solutions is a privately held Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy practice headquartered at 10335 Cross Creek Blvd STE. B, Tampa, Florida. Founded in 2015 by Shelby Dowd, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), the firm delivers in-home clinical services to individuals of all ages with developmental disabilities — including autism, Down syndrome, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and related conditions — who exhibit maladaptive behaviors such as tantrums, elopement, self-injury, PICA, physical aggression, social-skills deficits, disrobing, and verbal-development delays. Services span Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA), Behavior Analysis Service Plans (BASP), maintenance programs, verbal-behavior programs, social programs, parent and caregiver training, and early intervention, using evidence-based procedures including extinction, positive reinforcement, functional communication training (FCT), and Behavior Skills Training (BST).

The clinical team is composed of multiple BCBAs and one Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analyst (BCaBA), supported by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) and office personnel. Service delivery is direct-to-family and conducted in the client's home across five Florida counties: Hernando, Hillsborough, Pasco, Polk, and Sumter. The firm also operates a BACB Authorized Continuing Education (ACE) Provider program, offering self-paced online CEU courses for BCBA, BCaBA, and RBT professionals, priced from free to $8 per course.

Revenue is generated primarily through insurance-reimbursed and self-pay clinical ABA services, with a secondary, immaterial revenue stream from low-priced CEU course enrollment. Go-to-market is sales-led via phone inquiry, website contact forms, and word-of-mouth referrals. The company is founder-owned, with no disclosed venture or private-equity capital, no parent company, no subsidiaries, and no acquisitions. Operational signals after May 2021 are not documented in the available data.
