Choosing ABA Therapy

After extensive research from a wide range of patients, ABA therapy has been proven to be a beneficial intervention technique. Doctors and therapists have worked together in an effort to create this powerful and helpful method focused on supporting patients facing autism, behavioral challenges, communication problems, listening issues, and motor skill development. If you’re searching for an alternative to previous approaches for your child, then consider our qualified ABA therapists in San Diego.

Our Approach 

The first step in our process is to determine eligibility. We provide services in the home, school, and community settings, so we work with both the funding source and family to customize a unique program that suits your child. We start with a comprehensive assessment of your child conducted by a BCBA Case Manager. Then based on the results of that assessment, we craft a treatment plan that’s specific to the child. We will outline a range of goals focusing on skill acquisition, behavior reduction, and instructional programs. A team of Behavior Interventionists is assigned to each child where they will work one on one to ensure progress. In addition to the work our team will be doing, we also work with families to teach them strategies and give them the tools to help their child with daily activities.
