Serving families in Scottsdale and Surrounding Areas
Comprehensive Treatment
Comprehensive services are recommended to address behavioral challenges that exist across a wide range of developmental domains (for example. communication, social, emotional, and adaptive). This service model may also be used to address maladaptive behaviors such as tantrums and aggression. A comprehensive service model typically includes between 30-40 hours of direct ABA therapy per week as well as caregiver training/support and supervision. These services are delivered in the settings where they are needed, which may include home, clinic, school, and community. As clients make progress, services will be systematically faded, and family members or other stakeholders will learn the skills needed to provide ongoing support. Some service recipients may fade from a comprehensive treatment model to a focused care model as they progress.
Focused
care
Focused services are recommended to address a limited number of behavioral issues. Focused ABA treatment may involve increasing socially appropriate behavior (for example, increasing social initiations) or reducing problem behavior (for example, aggression). Focused ABA plans are intended for individuals that need treatment only for a limited number of key functional skills. This service model is also appropriate for individuals that require a focused approach to acute problem behavior.

We ask that you share any relevant medical and or educational records during our intake process. These documents are necessary for our assessment process and for insurance purposes, so your child can receive the highest quality care. We value input from all family members during this process to create a plan that aligns with your needs, values, and goals.
We will go over all this with you. Navigating insurance can be tricky, but we are on your side and here to help.
During this scientific and person-certained process, we measure your child’s performance across several benchmarks to inform the goals and structure of their unique therapy plan.
We’ll review what your insurance has approved and discuss next steps.

Quick Facts
About Our Services
Our ABA services are individualized to meet the unique needs and values of each person and are rooted in cutting-edge behavioral research.
We begin with a series of interviews and assessments to develop a unique treatment plan that includes the recommendation for services. Once direct ABA services begin, our therapists use inclusive, compassionate, and fun strategies to empower children to grow!
We provide services for individuals between the ages of 18 months to 18 years old with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
CTS currently accepts Blue Cross Blue Shield, Mercy Care insurance plans, empowerment scholarship account (ESA) funding, and private pay.
Common Questions:
ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) therapy helps children with autism build skills in communication, social interaction, daily living and play, while reducing behaviors that get in the way of learning. We work with children 18 months-18 years old who have an autism diagnosis.
Your first appointment is an assessment with one of our Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). We’ll observe your child at play, talk with you about your goals and concerns, and use standardized assessments such as VBMAPP, ABLES and more. Afterward, your BCBA writes an individualized treatment plan and reviews it with you before anything is submitted to insurance.
Sessions are led by a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and supervised by your child’s BCBA. Much of the learning happens through play, using your child’s favorite activities to teach new skills. our clinic: sensory-friendly rooms, play areas, individual working spaces and more. Sessions take place where the BCBA clinically recommends such as, in our Scottsdale clinic, at home, at school, or in the community.
Caregiver training is part of every treatment plan. Your BCBA will meet with you monthly or sometimes weekly to show you how to use the same strategies at home, so progress carries over into everyday life.
It depends on your child’s needs and goals. Your BCBA will recommend hours after the initial assessment.
- Comprehensive Treatment is for children who need support in several areas, like communication, social skills and daily living. It typically means 30–40 hours per week of direct ABA therapy, plus caregiver training.
- Focused Care targets a smaller number of specific goals and usually involves about 10–25 hours per week.
Our team will work with you to build a schedule that fits your family and your child’s school needs.
There’s no set end date. Every child progresses at their own pace. Your BCBA reviews progress with you regularly, at least every 6 months, when insurance reauthorization happens as well as in caregiver guidance. As your child meets goals and caregivers gain confidence using strategies at home, hours are gradually reduced. Some children move from Comprehensive Treatment to Focused Care before graduating from services. Our goal is always to help your child succeed without us.
