Tampa, FL, USA

Emergent Learning Centers serves families across Florida through telehealth, delivering behavior analytic and social emotional programming to adolescents and young adults from anywhere in the state, with BCBA oversight and direct sessions provided remotely. Like our other statewide telehealth programs, Florida care is built around the learner's actual life: sessions happen from the comfort and privacy of home, scheduled around school, work, and family routines, with caregivers kept close through regular coaching and progress reviews. Programming focuses on the skills this age truly demands, navigating friendships, managing frustration and anxiety, handling change, and making decisions guided by one's own values, delivered with the same science and the same expert clinicians found in every Emergent center.

And something bigger is coming. We are preparing to open our first Social Lab, an in-person space in the Tampa area designed for young adults who want more than the typical ABA experience. They want real friendships. The Social Lab brings peers together in structured, clinician-guided experiences where conversation, humor, conflict, planning, and connection are practiced the way they actually happen: live, with other people, in real time. Members work on the social and emotional skills that matter to them, with the science quietly running underneath and peers who are working toward the same thing sitting right beside them. It is a first for Emergent, and Florida families will be the first to experience it. Telehealth services are available now, and Social Lab enrollment interest is open. Reach out and we will keep your family posted as doors open.
