Center-based programs in Encinitas offer structured environments with peer interaction, often in spaces near the 5 freeway.

Under the Early and Periodic Screening, Diagnostic and Treatment (EPSDT) benefit, medically necessary ABA services are included. Many private insurance plans in California also cover ABA thanks to the state's autism insurance mandate (SB 946), which requires commercial plans to provide coverage.
