Choosing the right ABA therapy provider for your child is one of the most important decisions a San Diego family can make. At Superstar ABA Therapy Center, we make it simpler — with compassionate, play-based ABA therapy for children with autism ages 2–7, delivered in a warm, center-based clinic in El Cajon that welcomes families from across San Diego County.


Play-Based ABA Therapy for San Diego Families

Every child at Superstar ABA receives a fully individualized treatment plan built and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). We use Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) — the most widely researched, evidence-based approach for autism — in a play-first environment designed to help young learners grow and shine.


What Is ABA Therapy?

No waiting list — call today and your child can start this week. Superstar ABA Center provides center-based ABA therapy in El Cajon, serving families across San Diego County. We verify your Medi-Cal or insurance for free. Call (619) 310-6600 — our bilingual (English/Spanish) team answers 7 days a week, 7am–11pm.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is an evidence-based therapy that helps children with autism build communication, social, and daily-living skills using positive reinforcement and individualized, measurable goals. Progress is tracked with data, so your child’s plan is continually refined around what works best for them.


Why Choose a Board Certified Team ?

Every program at Superstar ABA is designed and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs), the gold-standard credential in the field, and delivered by trained Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs). Our compassionate, bilingual (English and Spanish) team partners closely with parents — because the skills your child builds in the clinic are strongest when they carry over to home and community. We measure progress continuously and adjust goals as your child grows.


Why Early Intervention Matters (Ages 2–7)

Research consistently shows that early intervention delivers the strongest outcomes. That is why Superstar ABA specializes in children ages 2–7 — focusing on foundational communication, social, and self-care skills during these critical developmental years, when children benefit most.

We offer a full range of center-based programs, each tailored to your child’s level:

  • 1:1 ABA Therapy — individualized one-on-one sessions

  • Small Group Instruction

  • Group Play & Social Skills

  • Self-Care Skills

  • Toilet Training

  • School Readiness

Insurance & Getting Started

We accept most major insurance plans, and our team handles the verification for you — so you can focus on your child, not paperwork. Getting started is easy: call (619) 310-6600 or complete our Getting Started form, and we’ll guide you through intake, insurance verification, and scheduling your child’s first visit. We are now enrolling new families with immediate availability.


What to Expect at Your First Visit

Wondering what happens after you reach out? A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) begins with a comprehensive assessment of your child's strengths, challenges, and developmental goals. From there, we build a fully individualized treatment plan with clear, measurable targets. Your child's first sessions focus on pairing — building trust and rapport with their therapist through play — so therapy feels safe and fun from day one. Throughout, we keep you updated on your child's progress every step of the way.
