How we work
Diverse by nature. Driven by heart.
We're a diverse team that cares deeply about our people and the families we serve. We bring data to every decision and heart to everything we do.
01
We write everything down
Every session, we count what your child does. Those counts turn into a graph. If a plan is not working, the graph tells us in weeks, not months.
02
You are part of the team
Skills tend to last when they happen at home too. We show you the same steps we use, so practice can carry on after we leave.
03
We meet your child where they are
Some children do best at home. Some do best in a room built for play. Some need help in the classroom. We do all three.
The data
Why this work matters here
53.1
per 1,000 children in California
California has the highest identified autism rate of all 16 sites the CDC tracks, more than three times Texas. A lot of families in the Inland Empire are looking for support at the same time.
1 in 31
children in the United States
About 1 in every 31 eight-year-olds in the U.S. is identified with autism. That number was 1 in 36 two years earlier. More children are being found, and found earlier.
2012
California has required coverage since
Under SB 946, state-regulated health plans have to cover behavioral health treatment, including ABA, when it is medically necessary. Medi-Cal works under a separate rule that is often broader. If a plan tells you ABA is not covered, it is worth asking a second time.
At home
is where new skills get their practice
Across studies, what most often carries a new skill out of the therapy room is the people at home using the same steps. That is why parent education sits inside the plan here rather than beside it. It is not a guarantee, and it is not on you alone.
Let's be honest about hours
You may read that children need 25 to 40 hours a week. That was the range in the older studies. A 2024 trial found 5 to 10 hours a week did about as well as 15 or more on the measures it used. More hours is not automatically better. The right amount is the amount your child's plan calls for, and we will talk that through with you.
