ABA therapy and autism care

Ages 1–17

A naturalistic, play-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach to ABA, delivered one-to-one in the Glendale center, at home, in school or in the community, with group ABA and parent coaching as well. Care starts with a BCBA assessment over about two weeks, then a personalized plan; services usually begin with parent coaching before one-to-one sessions. The same site offers diagnostic evaluations for autism, ADHD and developmental delay, speech, occupational and music therapy, medical care, and telehealth counseling. Jumpstart is an intensive group early intervention program for children 5 and under, with 1:1 support in small groups, preparing them for mainstream kindergarten. ABA is published for ages 18 months to 17. Center hours are Monday to Friday 8 am to 7 pm.
