Holding Hands - 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 provided from a center in Old Pasadena on East Walnut Street, where children with autism receive individualized applied behavior analysis built around clear, measurable goals. The team designs treatment plans with each family and offers both center-based and at-home options so care fits a child's routine and lifestyle. Therapists collaborate closely with parents and caregivers, sharing strategies that help new skills take hold across everyday situations.

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).
