SERVICES IN Arizona

Four ways your child
can grow with us.

Every program is designed and supervised by a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Center-Based ABA

Ages 18 mo – 6 yr

Our early intervention specialty. Structured, play-based learning at our Maryvale center on 3802 N 53rd Ave, Suite 150 — peer practice, sensory tools, school-readiness routines, and specialized materials. For toddlers and young children stepping into preschool or kindergarten.

In-Home ABA

Ages 18 mo – 17 yr

Skills practiced in your child’s real routines — mealtimes, bedtime, sibling play — with parents watching the techniques live. Available across Maryvale County for children of all ages through 17, with no age cap at our in-home program.

School-Based ABA

Collaboration with Phoenix Elementary School District, Phoenix Union High School District, and local charter and private schools. IEP support, classroom-behavior coaching, and BCBA consultation for teachers.

Parent Training & Coaching

Caregivers learn ABA techniques between sessions. Evening and weekend availability so working parents are not left out. Coaching from your child’s BCBA, not a generic curriculum.

OUR APPROACH

Modern ABA, built around
how your child actually learns.

ABA has evolved. Ours leads with play, with your child’s strengths, and with you in the room.

Play-based, child-led

Sessions happen on the floor, in pretend play, in real activities. We follow your child’s lead and build skills around what they’re already interested in.

Naturalistic teaching

Skills get taught in real moments — meals, transitions, sibling play — not drilled at a table. That’s how they generalize and stick.

BCBA in the room

Your child’s behavior analyst isn’t supervising from a distance. They’re there for sessions, watching, adjusting, coaching the team in the moment.

Family-led goals

You tell us what matters most. “I want her to ask for help.” “We want bedtime to stop being a fight.” Plans get built around your priorities, not a textbook.

Frequentlyasked.

What ages do you serve in Maryvale?

Our Maryvale center serves children ages 18 months through 6 years — our early intervention specialty. In-home ABA across Arizona County serves children ages 18 months through 17. Learn more about our center program.

How long until therapy can start?

We complete a free benefits check within 24 hours of your first call. From there, a BCBA assessment is scheduled and a personalized plan is built before sessions begin. Total timeline depends on insurance authorization and your family’s availability.

Do you offer in-home ABA in Maryvale?

Yes. We offer in-home ABA throughout Arizona. See how in-home ABA works.

Does Arizona Medicaid cover ABA therapy at The Treetop?

Yes. Arizona Medicaid covers ABA therapy for children with an autism diagnosis, and The Treetop is in network. Our team verifies benefits before your child begins. Call us to learn more about your coverage.

What is the difference between center-based and in-home ABA?

Center-based ABA at our Maryvale location offers structured learning, peer practice, and school-readiness routines. In-home ABA teaches skills in your child’s real daily routines and is often best for younger children or families with travel barriers.

Is ABA therapy evidence-based?

Yes. ABA is recognized as an evidence-based treatment for autism by the U.S. Surgeon General, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the National Institutes of Health.

How many hours per week of ABA does my child need?

That is determined by a BCBA assessment. Most children receive between 10 and 40 hours per week, calibrated to age, goals, and family availability.
