ABA therapy

Up to age 21

Individualized Applied Behavior Analysis for children with an autism (ASD) diagnosis, serving families across Los Angeles and Orange County. Each program combines a skill acquisition plan, a behavior intervention plan and a separate parent and guardian training program, with teaching that resembles play and uses what the child loves. Goals include communication, social interaction, daily living, emotional regulation, sensory processing, attending and independence. Progress is tracked in an electronic data collection system. Services include one-on-one and group therapy, parent consultation, collaboration with schools, telemedicine sessions, and 1:1 support at a child's district school on request. Starting means an intake email and interview, an insurance eligibility check, then an in-home or in-clinic assessment by a BCBA that sets the recommended hours. The practice accepts most insurances and also private pay.
