Collaborative Autism Management Programs

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST) is dedicated to empowering children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) through personalized, contemporary applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy. Serving families for over 20 years, AST focuses on children of various ages and needs, particularly those with language-based learning disabilities and twice-exceptional profiles. The school’s mission is to foster each child's unique potential by providing tailored support that enhances language and communication skills, social interactions, and emotional resilience. Utilizing a client-centered approach, AST implements evidence-based methodologies that adapt to the individual responses of each child, whether in their home, community settings, or one of the dedicated Learning Centers. With a commitment to low student-teacher ratios and strong family partnerships, AST stands out as a leader in the field of autism treatment. The extensive expertise of its team—comprising over 30 doctoral-level clinicians and 450 behavior analysts—ensures that families receive not only local convenience but also the benefits of a national network known for clinical excellence. This combination of personalized care and professional depth makes AST a unique resource for families navigating the challenges associated with autism.

Comprehensive Autism Center (CAC) serves San Diego County families with center-based ABA in a preschool-like setting for children about ages 2 to 6, optional in-home ABA for children up to about age 6, telehealth when clinically appropriate, and a parent-led Early Explorers coaching track for very young children. Licensed psychology staff conduct developmental diagnostic evaluations for children about birth through age 6 at San Diego and Temecula sites, which can shorten the gap between concern and starting services. Parent workshops and a family liaison line are built into how CAC describes care. Start with the intake or screening flow on the main site, then confirm Medi-Cal, commercial, or other benefits for your member ID. Executive operations leadership includes Monique Erickson, BCBA (centers), and Valerie Rogers, PhD, BCBA-D (in-home and remote).

Autism Spectrum Therapies (AST), part of LEARN Behavioral, runs Inland Empire centers and field teams that include Temecula families. Services span autism diagnostics, center-based ABA, in-home ABA, school-based help, and social skills groups under a contemporary ABA model that emphasizes caregiver partnership. Regional intake uses 866-727-8274. AST's inland page markets compassionate, data-informed care for children and young adults; confirm which exact learning center or zip cluster matches your home for drive time and availability. Insurance verification happens during intake; LEARN's network backing can matter for authorizations across multiple counties.
