Where do I start? this school is bright, cheerful and clean staffed by competent, friendly, patient tutors and the ABA is consistent and effective. They expect more from the kiddos and they get it. Tutors keep the kids engaged in one on one adaptive lessons and you can tell they actually enjoy what they do (the kids know it too). The I/T and Center Based programs are focused on that golden period of 0-5yrs it's designed to instruct parents as well and keeps them in the loop.- no veil of secrecy... Just common sense and caring instruction. The sense of Worry for the safety for your kiddos that was so prevalent in our district schools was not here. The kids know they are safe and in a great place and can begin to relax and learn. Everyone is well informed, kind and focused on the well being and instruction of each child. This school is truly a gem. read more

So far we are very happy with ABC. My son started the in home program at 22 months old but after a few weeks he became very resistant and non compliant, he refused to do any lessons and began regressing. We felt like we had little options since ABC's center based program was full but when the program director heard about my son's situation she offered to make a spot in the program for him. My son started the center based program two weeks ago and we're already seeing amazing things. He's now sitting down at home to eat meals, waving correctly, and his eye contact and response to name is improving. He just absolutely loves being here and we feel at ease leaving him because we know he is in good hands. We thought he would cry when we dropped him off but he did not, instead he cried when we picked him up because he was having so much fun lol. read more

Poor Customer Service.... Never received a return call on left messages. The receptionist was not familiar with their service area, which should be a simple yes or no response. Very concerning that this person is the first contact families have with the organization. read more

The best school for kids with Autism here in Sacramento, we started when my child was 18mo and now she's 5 and about to transition to a public school (special autism class). We couldn't be more happy with all her progress she has made here, the tutors and behavior consultants are amazing and truly care about these kids, I will definitely miss everyone here, and we're so very thankful for everything they've done for our child. They will let you pop in anytime just to check on your child, and they will take care of any questions or concerns you have. We are sad to go but know that because of their hard work and care for our child, she's now able and capable to attend a more higher functioning class room :) read more

Well this people lied to me ! The therapist talked about other families business to other families. They don't want to help people who gets upset over them lying. They don't care about the kids the therapists are only in it for a pay check. Patrick a therapist lied to me then when I let him know I was upset about it he didn't want to work with me, well yeah I get it your embarrassed for lying but make it right. I was nice to this people they gave me the run around for months. They're not helpful, they just tell you what you want to hear. The school wasted my time. This is SUPPOSED TO BE A PLACE WHERE THEY HELP "HELP" KIDS. They don't care about you or your kid unless your bringing a check to them and kissing their ass. So unprofessional. They just kept lying over and over again. I will seek a way for the founder to contact me to let them know what kind a place they're running. These people are rude. They also discriminated against me because I was a different race then the therapist. But I will not stay with my arms cross. I will seek help to get all the issues addressed read more

Let's face it, taking your child to a Behavior Consultant is not something you really want to do. But when you go to ABC Valencia you'll at least be among people who actually care about your child, and make you feel you're among friends. When we first went there we were commuting 100 miles roundtrip and so we took our laptops and worked in the 'Parents Lounge' while our son took his classes. In fact we made quite a few friends there, which is a really positive thing - talking with other parents can be very enlightening because everyone is at different stages of development, so you can swap stories. We've been taking our son there for 2 years now, and over that time he's had a number of different therapists. Some are more experienced than others, but all share the same professionalism. Their job is not easy, in fact it's extremely frustrating, and the fact that these tutors consistently stay professional and keep our son on the right track is fantastic, (I am in awe of their patience). All the staff are cheerful and helpful and the general feeling of the place is very homey and inviting. When our son first went there he cried every time (he is level 3 severely autistic), but after a couple of weeks he was enjoying it, and now he's high fiving the staff, starting to string sentences together, count, spell, listen and respond to requests, and today he even had his first slow dance with a female pupil! It's a great place, I thoroughly recommend it. read more
