About Puzzle Box Academy

Puzzle Box Academy is a private school serving children (currently Kindergarten through 6th Grade) impacted by Autism and other developmental delays such as ADD/ADHD. The Academy offers a comprehensive educational and therapeutic program. Specifically, Puzzle Box Academy provides students with a customized academic plan, integrating proven, research-based therapeutic strategies into every learning task. The Academy is unique from the public school settings, as Puzzle Box offers year-round schooling, low student to teacher ratio, and additional therapies such as occupational, speech and language, music, art, behavior, social cognition, daily living practice, and peer buddies. Currently, there is no model like Puzzle Box Academy in the state of Florida. Puzzle Box Academy believes that all students affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders can reach their fullest potential through an education based in both a structural and playful environment. Each child's particular strengths and challenges are constantly assessed to direct the child's teachers in selecting best practice teaching methods for each individual child. Moreover, Puzzle Box Academy maintains that all students learn with greater ease when their natural interests and affinities are honored throughout the school day. Kaleidoscope Interventions provides both school and center-based behavioral consulting and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services for children with autism and other developmental delays. Through our research, we’re able to effectively capture a child’s motivation and use it to help them develop accelerated skills in language, play, and social interaction. All of our services are grounded in B.F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior – which supports the development of functional communication skills. As those skills develop, our team is able to facilitate learning across a variety of skill sets using assessments, data-driven decisions and continued collaboration with a child’s family in order to make effective progress.
