ABA autism therapy

Up to age 21

Applied behavior analysis for children with autism, with individualized plans built after an assessment and goals that are measured and re-measured over time. Skills targeted include communication, play, social interaction, self-management and reducing challenging behavior. Parent coaching is included so that skills carry over outside sessions. Therapists can work in person, in the home, classroom, daycare or wherever the behaviors occur, working with teachers and caregivers, and one-on-one telehealth ABA is also offered. The agency is led by BCBAs and a BCaBA clinical supervisor, accepts most insurances and regional centers including NLARC, and is vendored with Harbor and Lanterman regional centers. It is also a California-certified nonpublic agency paid by school districts. Respite services are typically regional-center funded. Offices in Marina del Rey and Harbor City.
