Children’s Specialized ABA provides expert-led, in-home ABA therapy to children diagnosed with autism across the Phoenix metro area. We support each family with personalized plans, parent and caregiver guidance, and clinical excellence.
We verify coverage and get you started with care—quickly and compassionately.
Our Arizona team provides a whole-child continuum of care that begins with a BCBA-led assessment of treatment goals, followed by a customized ABA therapy plan delivered in your home by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). If your child needs a formal diagnosis, we can connect you with a trusted provider for a diagnostic evaluation.
Throughout care, we focus on more than just behavior—we support your child’s growth in communication, independence, and emotional regulation, with your family as a central part of the process.
All services are delivered in the comfort and familiarity of your home.
