Life Skills Autism Academy - ABA Therapy Center - Tuscon (Campbell Ave)

Im happy to have my son here. He talks so much now and is ridiculously smart. They have come up with great ideas to turn his not so age appropriate likes and keep the likes but push them more to be age appropriate. Example I will kill you is now I will defeat you. When Ive had meetings with the BCBA and express concern even if they are not seeing the behaviors I see at home they rack their brains to come up with strategies to help him manage and deal with his struggles and feeling. I have seen vast improvements in the last approximately 2 years since he has gone here. Sometimes I pick him up upset and of course its over normal kid things like we didnt give him the sticker fast enough or another child ran over and hit him. Kid struggles. However typically he is excited to show me something he has made even though its only letters and shapes. He has started to write letters already and knows his shapes and he is 4. He will write them on the white board at home for fun. He does so amazingly drawing a person for his age and is at level with my 6 and 7 year old autistic son newly diagnosed. Finally as well we are to the degree in which he says something and I dont have to say Im sorry I cant understand you. This has now declined tremendously and I do not deal with melt downs as frequently as I used to. It nice that I dont have to be worried not knowing what to do to help all the time. He is expressing his feelings Im angry at you and as a parent even if its frustrating its great to hear he understands how he feels. I recommend this school.

We joined the center when they opened earlier this year. We have seen them grow and in my experience they listen to the parents and they adapt to ensure they are meeting the needs of the kids. Everyone there care a lot about the kids and they seem excited to be working there. They work with the parents to give them resources to help their kids at home. They also work with other providers to ensure theres alignment on goals and they are open to learn from those other providers too. If you are looking for ABA Therapy this is a great place to be

Having just been opened I think the center is a wonderful place for children to be.

I do not recommend. Im giving 2 star because I did like some therapist but not all. My son was here for about 7 months. He was happy at first but then he would go full panic when he saw the building. My son started regresing in a few areas started asking for diaper for pee when he already knew how to use the toilet to pee a few times when I picked him up he would have a wet diaper with a rash. This happen often when Kristen was his afternoon therapist. 3 weeks after stopping with ABA and being home my son is using the toilet to pee flushing turning off the bathroom light and closing the door. Communication from supervisors is a big problem here they dont tell you most of the times when there is a change in therapist. I really wanted this therapy for my son most of all because I wanted him to be around other kids thats why I waited and was patient until we saw a bruise in is arm like if someone grabbed him that I can not tolerate. One day when I was picking up my son I heard a kid fall and he not sure boy or girl but it sounded like a boy started crying in the swing area I notice no one said anything I did not hear one person say sorry you fellor what happened you hurt yourself or something either he was not attended or the therapist there just did not care. I really wanted to see the kid to tell the mom but I just could see who he was. I understand kids fall have accidents but negligence is different. If you work with kids you need patience and lots of love.

There is a teacher there and she used to be a felon she shot at her husband with a gun and she is teaching kids Im pretty sure most parents would not like that so posting them because she beat the system with the felony he is so so moody its unbelievable so either way crazy or not walking Stephen

I would not recommend this place had a bad experience with the staff they are not professionals didnt help my daughter when it came to ABA therapy
