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.

She has worked in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis since 2004 years in a variety of settings including home, school, and community. Sarah began doing 1:1 intervention while in college at the University of California, Irvine after working at a summer camp and having a child in her group who was diagnosed with Autism. After completing her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Sarah started working at Children’s Learning Connection doing therapy and fell in love with the philosophy and model. While continuing to work at CLC, Sarah attended Chapman University where she obtained her Masters in Psychology and utilized other types of behavioral therapies for a wider variety of mental health disorders in adults, but in the end, working with children is her passion.

Therapy sessions might take place in your home or community, depending on what the ALP Clinical team recommends. Each session, a Behavior Technician will work one-on-one with your child, targeting individualized goals embedded into fun and functional activities. Sessions can last 2-4 hours depending on your child’s needs. Parent training is always a part of the treatment plan, as we want you to have that support.
There are parent organizations and resources within the San Diego North area that may be helpful supplements to ABA therapy. Please contact us for more information.
The medical diagnosis must come from a diagnostic provider, such as a Primary Care Physician or Psychologist. Unfortunately, an IEP will not suffice on its own. A diagnostic evaluation, like the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS), would need to be completed.
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.
