Welcome to Vista Center for Behavior Analysis
At Vista Center for Behavior Analysis, we believe in the power of relationships and connections to foster growth and development for children with autism. Our unique approach integrates the compassionate principles of relational-cultural theory (RCT) with the proven techniques of applied behavior analysis (ABA) to create a nurturing and effective therapeutic environment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Autism & Autism Treatment
Yes. Vista provides the vast majority of our services in the comfort of our client’s home. We do this in line with best practice in our field, which indicates that the client’s natural environment is the best location for training necessary life skills.
Vista offers services to families who reside in the San Fernando Valley, Santa Clarita Valley, Antelope Valley, San Gabriel/Pomona area, East Los Angeles, Los Angeles proper, South Central Los Angeles and the West Los Angeles regions.
There is no standard program length as all clients are assessed and served on an individualized basis. On average, we work with clients for a period of one to three years. The length of the program is predicated on many factors, including the client’s goals, the rate of acquisition of skills and pro-social behaviors, and the availability of the key members of the client’s circle of support to participate in the program.
Because Vista practices in the field of ABA, we do not have the license or credentials to make a recommendation in this area. However, we do know that research indicates that some individuals with autism benefit from the use of properly prescribed medication.
There is no “miracle drug” or any single one that consistently works the same on all individuals. We therefore recommend that you seek a physician who is knowledgeable about autism and who can assess your son or daughter’s individual needs in order to determine whether a medication treatment plan is necessary.
