SACRAMENTO, Calif. — Sacramento ABA Therapy announced the opening of its newest treatment center in Sacramento, providing hope for local families seeking autism support services. The facility, which is open with no current waitlist, provides immediate access to applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy in a region where families often face extended service waiting periods.
The new location provides data-driven autism treatment through both center-based and in-home services. This expansion addresses a critical need in the Sacramento region, where many families have historically waited months to begin autism support services.
“It is extremely important to provide early, intensive therapy for children with autism and increase access for their families,” said Liz Krulder, Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) and co-founder of Sacramento ABA. “When parents receive an autism diagnosis for their child, every day counts. We’re working to eliminate barriers to accessing behavioral health services for those that desperately need it.”
The Sacramento facility operates with a clinical team of BCBAs and trained behavioral technicians who provide individualized ABA therapy services. In addition to traditional behavioral therapy, the center offers other types of support, including parent training and collaboration with local schools and healthcare providers.
The new facility’s treatment programs range from early intervention services for young children to adaptive skills training for adolescents. The center’s clinical team develops individualized treatment plans based on each client’s needs and goals while incorporating evidence-based ABA methodology.
Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a therapeutic approach focused on understanding and improving behaviors using evidence-based techniques and principles to encourage positive behaviors and reduce challenging ones. At its core, it is an intervention strategy that respects the autonomy of each person. ABA methods are applied through a focus on positive reinforcement, intrinsic motivation, cultural competence, and trauma-informed care.
The center’s opening comes at a time when autism diagnosis rates continue to rise in California, with many families reporting challenges in accessing timely intervention services. By accepting most major insurance plans, Sacramento ABA aims to make its services accessible to a more extensive segment of the local community.
Mrs. Krulder adds that the decision to open in Sacramento stemmed from an analysis of Northern California’s community needs and healthcare access patterns. “Sacramento families have been clear about their needs. Our facility is fully staffed and ready to support our autism community.”
