Welcome Physicians and Care Professionals!

At Dream Big, we’ve believed in a simple idea since day one: every child deserves access to compassionate, play-based, high-quality ABA therapy. Since 2016, we’ve made it our mission to create spaces for meaningful growth for young children needing early intervention.

As a leader in the field in California with 8 locations and growing, we hold ourselves to the highest standards of care. Our goal is clear: to partner with families to give the best therapeutic services to children aged 1-5 years old, in an environment they can’t wait to play in!

When you partner with Dream Big, you’re not just signing up for care for your patient – you’re joining a team dedicated to the child’s success. We believe in a true partnership between our team, your team, and any other professionals involved in your child’s care. We’ll keep you in the loop with regular progress updates so you can stay informed every step of the way.

Assessments

Families seeking a diagnosis can often find long waitlists, a confusing process, and a dearth of information and resources. Dream Big is here to help in the process. Select centers can schedule the ADOS-2. The results of these assessments can be reviewed by a diagnostician and can significantly decrease the time spent on waiting lists, resulting in families receiving services sooner. To learn more about assessments offered, visit our assessments page.

Family Support: From Day One to Graduation:

We understand how important peace of mind is for both you and the families you refer. From the moment a family reaches out to us to the day their child completes our program, we’re here to support every step of the way. With 8 locations, we provide more than just treatment – we offer community, resources, and ongoing care for families and caregivers. Our local centers host sensory-friendly events, open houses, and trainings, all designed to make families feel welcome and supported. Plus, our social media channels are full of tips, blogs, and resources for anyone who has a child with autism or developmental delays. We can’t wait to play!
