HighlightsTelehealth AvailableMedicaid Accepted

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).

We are a community leader providing a unique blend of ABA therapies to children ages 0-6 years old in-center to build critical socialization skills in your child’s development.

Our Approach

Center teams use individualized ABA plans with heavy caregiver coaching. In-home and telehealth tracks extend the same goals into kitchens, parks, and routines. Diagnostics, when needed, feed a single treatment picture instead of conflicting reports.
