ABA Therapy -San Bernardino County
Support in your home, the community, or telehealth - On your terms
San Bernardino County is one of the largest counties in the country — and for many families raising a child with autism or another neurodevelopmental difference, that size can feel isolating. Services are concentrated in certain cities, waitlists stretch for months, and too many families end up doing the driving, the waiting, and the advocating all at once. Spectrum Optimal Care serves families across San Bernardino County with ABA therapy and parent-led coaching designed to work in your real life, not around a clinic's schedule

How is ABA Therapy Paid For?
We are committed to making funding work for your family. We accept many insurances and are currently accepting clients through the Self-Determination Program (SDP) via the Regional Center of the Desert (RCOD) and Inland Regional Center (IRC), with full Regional Center vendorization in process. Private pay families are warmly welcomed, with a sliding fee scale based on current DDS low-income rates, updated every quarter. No diagnosis is required for private pay services — so if you are still in the assessment process, you do not have to put your life on hold.
