Consistency Builds Trust
ABA Therapy Designed Around Your Child
Every child who walks through our doors works with the same dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for the entire session, every session. We don’t rotate technicians and we don’t run group therapy disguised as individualized care. That consistency is what builds the trust a child needs to make real progress — it’s the standard our Lakeside-Pinetop team holds for every family we serve.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Arizona Autism Clinic have a location in Lakeside-Pinetop?
Yes. Arizona Autism Clinic’s Lakeside-Pinetop center is located at 300 W. White Mountain Blvd, STE A, Lakeside, AZ 85929, providing ABA therapy to families throughout Show Low, Pinetop, and the broader White Mountains region.
Is ABA therapy covered by insurance in Arizona?
Most insurance plans in Arizona cover ABA therapy under the state’s autism mandate, though coverage varies by plan. Our team can verify your specific benefits before you start. Per Arizona state law, all insurance companies are required to cover ABA services
How does ABA therapy work?
ABA breaks skills and tasks into small, manageable steps using visual, verbal, and physical prompts. Positive behaviors are reinforced consistently while challenging behaviors are gradually reduced through structured, data-driven sessions.
Does ABA replace speech or occupational therapy?
No. ABA therapy works alongside, not in place of, Speech Therapy and Occupational Therapy as part of a complete care plan.
What should I look for in an ABA provider near Lakeside-Pinetop?
Ask about the BCBA’s years of experience, the true ratio of staff to clients during sessions, and how the provider documents and addresses challenging behaviors. A true 1:1 model, like ours, is the clearest sign of individualized care rather than templated group therapy.
