## Center-based ABA therapy

Up to age 21

Center-based ABA therapy for children diagnosed with autism, delivered one-on-one by a care team that may include BCBAs and Registered Behavior Technicians. Therapy takes place in a structured, play-based setting and works on communication, independence, social development and school readiness, using positive reinforcement and individualized goals that are reviewed regularly. Every care plan includes Family Guidance sessions led by a BCBA, held twice monthly. Speech, occupational, feeding and physical therapists can also see children in the Los Angeles centers, which cuts down on travel. Families start with an online interest form, confirm insurance, then schedule a tour. The team verifies benefits and helps with paperwork, accepts most insurance plans, and can discuss need-based financial support. Schedules are set around school; some sessions may be outside school hours.

## Autism evaluation

Ages 1–6

Autism evaluations for children ages 18 months to 6 years, using the ADOS-2 and IDE in face-to-face assessments, with play-based testing and a final review of findings by the clinical team. Free online screening tools are offered for families who do not yet have a diagnosis: the M-CHAT-R for toddlers and the CAST for older children. The site says free diagnostic support is available through online consultations or at its Los Angeles care centers. A diagnosis can lead into early intensive behavioral intervention and ABA therapy at L.E.M.Y.S and helps families seek school supports.
