Stepping Stones Center for Autistic Spectrum

ABA and behavioral therapy with assessment

Up to age 21

Behavioral therapy for children and others with developmental and learning differences, including autism, ADHD, Down syndrome, speech and language disorders and sensory integration needs. Families start with a consultation with a clinician, which is not an assessment. A multidisciplinary team then recommends either a comprehensive assessment or dynamic assessment and therapy. The comprehensive assessment runs over about a week in sessions of 1.5 to 2 hours with psychology, ABA, speech and occupational therapy specialists, followed by a review meeting with parents and the start of 1:1 therapy. ABA is supervised by board-certified behavior analysts, with Registered Behavior Technicians delivering sessions. Parent and caregiver training is ongoing, client teams meet monthly, and ABA progress is re-assessed quarterly. Other services include speech therapy, occupational therapy and sensory integration, social groups, learning support and school shadowing. Services are offered in multiple languages. Vendored with Lanterman Regional Center. Open Sunday to Thursday.
