Community Autism Services - Pasadena

We take a unique, neuro-affirming approach to ABA. Children are always met where they are, and goals are built collaboratively with parents and caregivers. We NEVER push kids to do behaviors they are uncomfortable with. We believe lasting change happens in supportive, caring environments.

ABA therapy in Pasadena, CA is offered on East Foothill Boulevard, where the team uses research-based applied behavior analysis to help children build communication, daily-living, and social skills while reducing behaviors that get in the way. Programs can run at the center or extend into the home, community, and school so skills generalize across the places a child spends time. Sessions are tailored to each child, and the staff supports a wide range of family languages so parents stay involved in goal-setting and progress.

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).
