Changing Education & The World
With Behavioral Science

Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA)
Comprehensive assessments of a child including interviews, questionnaires, direct observations and experimentally manipulating variables to identify the root of the issue(s). A treatment plan is then created, with parental consent, to address what you’re most concerned about.

Home-Based ABA Services
Individualized ABA services in your child’s most natural environment – your home. We assign a core clinical team to implement a treatment plan and work with you to ensure you learn the latest and most effective strategies that benefit your child so you feel confident in supporting your child when your ABA team is not present.

Clinic-Based ABA Services
Clinic-based services are available to provide your child an enriched environment to acquire skills rapidly, practice learned skills with peers, so they can then generalize back to their home environments. Visit the Operant Learning Center (OLC).

Early Intervention Services
For learners ages 12-36 months, we offer specialized developmental based services to help identify and developmental gaps. A developmental team that consists of a speech therapist, occupational therapist, physical therapist, and Board Certified Behavior Analyst will coordinate an individualized program for your child.

We are a leader in school-based consultation services across the country. Our trained technicians will support and partner with your school district to provide the recommended assistance needed to help your student(s) access curriculum in the least restrictive educational environment.

Community-Based Instruction
We offer ABA services that are provided in community settings such as stores, restaurants, parks, and other locations to support the acquisition of skills in public settings. This type of instruction focuses on teaching your child the necessary safety skills, compliance, communication, social skills, and more to successfully navigate unpredictable settings.

Behavior Coaching for Young Adults
Our behavior coaching program for young adults ages 17-30 is aimed at using evidence-based strategies in self management to support what they want in life, create goals, measure their progress, report it out for accountability purposes, identify their progress, and experience the rewards of their accomplishments. This service is a membership-based private pay program that is conducted in a small group clinic setting or remote. Please contact us at 949-866-0875 for additional information.

Social Skills Services
Our social skills program is conducted primarily in our Operant Learning Center, but can also be individualized to run in locations such as parks, community centers, etc. Our social skills program aims to increase progress on program goals that can be generalized amongst their peers. The focus is to create opportunities for social interaction, introduce games and play activities, and work on the generalization of treatment goals within a peer group setting.

Adult ABA Consultation
We offer ABA consultation services to adult group homes, day programs, and other residential facilities. We have leading experts in the field of ABA with decades of experience working with adults with developmental disabilities. Our team will conduct a comprehensive Functional Behavior Assessment and Individualized Emergency Intervention Plan (IEIP).
