About Us
ECAP at FSU Panama City is the only non-profit Applied Behavior Analysis program in the Panhandle to provide in-home and in-clinic services. ECAP serves children diagnosed with (or presenting symptoms of) developmental delays or disabilities, including: Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy and Intellectual Disability.
ECAP is a non-profit (501(c) 3) early intervention and community outreach program. Our program has an approved practicum placement for graduate students enrolled in the Florida State University Master’s Program in Applied Behavior Analysis.
ABA and Autism
More than 40 years of research support the use of ABA to teach children with developmental disabilities. Additionally, it is now widely acknowledged that ABA is the treatment of choice for children with an Autism Spectrum Disorder.
We recognize that each child is unique and that different techniques work for different children. We pride ourselves on developing individualized, research-based programs for each client. Although symptoms vary individually per child, autism spectrum disorders are characterized by restricted/repetitive patterns, impaired social interaction and impaired communication skills.
