Florida Autism Center

What Florida Autism Center does

Florida Autism Center (FAC) is a Florida-focused Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy provider serving children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), operating as a division of BlueSprig Autism. Founded in 2005 and now headquartered in Lake Mary, FL, FAC runs 40+ clinical centers across major Florida metros including Jacksonville, Orlando, Tampa Bay, South Florida, and the Panhandle, making it one of the largest statewide ABA providers by site count.

The company's core offering is individualized ABA therapy, delivered through five service settings: center-based, home-based, community-based, virtual (telehealth), and school-based. Programs are age-graded: Sprouts (ages 0-4) and Sprigs (ages 4-6) for early intervention, Branching Out Explorers (ages 7-12) and Branching Out Trailblazers (ages 13-18) for adolescents, plus specialty clinical programs such as The Behavior Center and the Adolescent ABA Therapy Center. A structured progression pathway called the ABA Growth Pathway tracks developmental milestones through these programs. The organization also operates a UFCAN (University of Florida Center for Autism and Neurodevelopment) specialty clinic in Gainesville, embedding it within an academic medical ecosystem. Supporting infrastructure includes the ABA Unfiltered podcast, a parent portal powered by CentralReach, online intake forms, and an active social presence across Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, YouTube, and TikTok.

Revenue is generated through professional-services billing for ABA therapy, which is typically reimbursed through commercial insurance, Medicaid, and other payer sources (pricing is not publicly disclosed and the website surfaces a dedicated insurance section, signaling payer-driven GTM). Customer acquisition runs through a referral-based and direct-inquiry model — families contact individual centers by phone or via online intake, and a formal healthcare-provider referral pathway feeds the funnel. End customers are individual families of children with ASD rather than enterprise accounts, so revenue is distributed across a long-tail consumer base whose churn is episodic and tied to therapy duration rather than contract renewal.
