Behavior Frontiers Opens Three New ABA Centers for Autism Care in Sacramento Region

Behavior Frontiers Expands Its Reach in Sacramento

Behavior Frontiers, a well-known leader in applied behavior analysis (ABA) therapy for children affected by autism, has exciting news: they are expanding their services within the Sacramento area. The organization recently announced the establishment of three new center-based locations where they will provide essential autism care. These centers will be opened successively from October through December 2026, adding to their existing facilities located in Citrus Heights and Rocklin.

The first new center is situated in Rancho Cordova, which opened in October, followed by two additional centers in Sacramento—one on American River Drive set to open in November and another on Riverside Boulevard in December. This expansion means that Behavior Frontiers will now have a total of five centers serving the Sacramento region, thus increasing accessibility and availability of quality therapy for families in need.

The decision to open new centers stems from the increasing demand for early autism care in California. Data from the California Department of Developmental Services shows that the number of individuals diagnosed with autism has skyrocketed by 162% over the last decade, making autism the largest diagnostic category for disabilities in the state since 2024. This expansion aims to meet this pressing need and provide critical intervention to young children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

Helen Mader, CEO of Behavior Frontiers, expressed her commitment to community needs by stating, "Families across the Sacramento region deserve access to high-quality autism care close to home, and we see how much that need is growing. Three new centers in just a few months means more children can start therapy sooner." This sentiment highlights the importance of early intervention, which is critical in shaping the developmental trajectory of these young children.

Each of these newly established Behavior Frontiers centers will offer tailored, center-based environments created specifically for toddlers and young children under six years of age. Through individualized ABA therapy, these centers will address every essential developmental area that children need to thrive, which includes language, social skills, independence, and daily living skills.

To further celebrate this expansion, Behavior Frontiers is organizing a grand opening event at the Rancho Cordova location on Saturday, October 24th, 2026. Dubbed the Sensory-Friendly Halloween Bash, the event aims to bring the community together, allowing families to explore the new center, meet the clinical team, and learn more about their autism services in an engaging, interactive environment. Participants can look forward to activities such as sensory-friendly trick-or-treating, crafts, games, and more, creating a welcoming experience for children and families alike.

Each new site will operate under the PrioraCare platform, an innovative tool that offers clinicians the ability to monitor and adapt therapy in real-time. This commitment to personalized treatment ensures that children receive targeted support tailored to their specific needs. Behavior Frontiers aims to foster an atmosphere where children can learn alongside their peers in state-of-the-art facilities designed for engaging, interactive learning.

The organization is committed to making these centers accessible to all families, accepting most major insurance providers as well as Medi-Cal plans. Enrollment for new families is currently open, making this an opportune time for those seeking specialized autism therapy services.

Founded in 2004, Behavior Frontiers has continuously evolved to meet the needs of families and children with ASD, reshaping the landscape of autism care in the United States. As they expand their wings in Sacramento, they continue to raise the bar in ABA therapy, ensuring quality care is always within reach for families across the country.
