ECE 4 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.
