Maxim Behavioral – Pomona, CA Office

ABA therapy (home, school and community)

Up to age 21

Applied behavior analysis for children diagnosed with autism, delivered in the family's home, at school and out in the community rather than in a clinic. The Pomona office describes an empathy-based approach that draws on psychological, educational and developmental techniques, built around positive reinforcement and the child's own interests. Home sessions work on dressing and toilet training, language and communication, and play and social skills, with family members taking part. School support covers preschool through high school in public, private and charter settings. Families start by contacting the office, talking with a BCBA, and having an in-home assessment before a tailored program is written. Payment options named are Medicaid, private insurance, the California Regional Centers payor network and personal funds. Bilingual services are mentioned. The office serves Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties.
