The ABA Medi-Cal benefit in Los Angeles County is administered by a number of MCOs (Managed Care Organizations), including Anthem Medical, Blue Shield Promise Health Plan, LA Care, MHN (HealthNet), and others. We are contracted with almost all MCOs in LA County. If you are interested in working with Autism Learning Partners, please give our Intake team a call today to learn about how soon we can get your child started. It’s worth noting that, generally, Medi-Cal beneficiaries below the age of 21 years are able to access ABA therapy with a recommendation from a licensed physician or psychologist with a statement of medical necessity.
Home-based ABA services allow teaching to occur in the child’s natural environment and incorporates learning within the child’s natural routine

Our processes to improve cognition, adaptive, social, and emotional domains range from structured lessons to more naturalistic programming that can look like play, chore completion, or conversation.
Focused ABA services are for individuals who (a) need treatment only for a limited number of key functional skills, or (b) have such an acute problem behavior that its treatment needs to be prioritized.
Autism Learning Partners (formerly Pacific Child & Family Associates) began offering services to children with autism and other development disabilities, and their families, in 1988. The company was an early proponent of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and quickly adopted this clinical methodology as the cornerstone of its services to children and families. Autism Learning Partners now offers treatment services in many states across the US, collaborating with doctors, therapist, families, schools, and specialists for complete, effective care.
The mission of Autism Learning Partners is to provide the highest level of clinical expertise to facilitate significant and sustainable improvement for the individuals and families we serve.
Autism Learning Partners strives to give hope, support and paths of progress for children and their families living with Autism and related disorders. We believe that a tailored, comprehensive care plan managed by our exceptional clinical talent, partnered with love and commitment from the family, allows each child to achieve their maximum potential.

We do not provide support with academics, such as homework, reading, etc. However, if the child shows behaviors during these activities, we would provide support around the behavior (i.e. compliance, transitions, attending, etc.).
Yes, but parents/guardians must be involved and are required to run the majority of the program. We work with our families to provide techniques that can be used at home and outside of sessions.
Therapy sessions could take place in your home or community environment, depending on what the ALP Clinical team recommends, and if the school and insurance provides approval.
We do not currently have a center in the Glendale area, but please check back for any updates.
