About
Empowered ABA Solutions provides compassionate, individualized behavior support for children and families. Led by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), we offer in-home, school-based, and telehealth services that are rooted in evidence-based practices. We partner closely with caregivers and educators to build skills, reduce challenging behaviors, and foster meaningful progress across home, school, and community settings.
Our goal is to empower families with the tools and confidence they need to support their child's development--not just during therapy sessions, but every day. Whether you're looking for behavior consultation, parent coaching, or social skills groups, we're here to help. Serving Charlotte and Sarasota counties and beyond.
Joanie Friedman, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA
I have been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst since 2021. I have worked in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis since 2016 and I hold a master's degree in educational, school, and counseling psychology with an emphasis in mental health practices in schools.
I wanted to create a business model where the BCBA works directly with the caregivers and teachers involved with the child in their everyday life.
Now that I'm a mom, I understand more than ever that ABA needs to be adaptable to the raw realities of home and school settings.
My goal is to empower each parent, grandparent, caregiver, and teacher to feel confident in their ability to help their child reach their potential. I look forward to working with your family!
