CBC Education

What CBC Education does

CBC Education, Inc. is a privately-held, California-incorporated therapy services provider founded in 2002 that delivers evidence-based interventions to children and adults with autism spectrum disorder and other developmental disabilities across Southern California. Its core offering consists of four integrated programs: the DIR/Floortime Program (developmental, relationship-based therapy following Dr. Stanley Greenspan's model), the Social Skills Training Program (SSTP) which combines Social Thinking, DIR/Floortime, Social Stories, and UCLA's PEERS curriculum, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services including parent training and 3-14 hours/week of direct treatment, and the Infant Development Program for children under 36 months at risk of or with established developmental delays. A supplementary Consulting Services line supports 1:1 and group engagements for families, funding sources, and private clients.

The company's underlying clinical technology is its integrative treatment methodology, which deliberately blends multiple well-established therapeutic frameworks under coordinated clinical teams rather than relying on a single modality. Services are delivered across three settings - client homes, community environments (parks, schools, recreational facilities), and clinic offices - with two physical locations anchoring the geography: the San Gabriel headquarters at 222 E Las Tunas Drive (Floortime/ABA) and the El Monte office at 3629 Santa Anita Avenue, Suite 208 (SSTP, opened July 2018). The clinical team includes BCBA-credentialed leadership, expert-level DIR/Floortime providers, and program-specific clinical coordinators, with over 90% of staff bilingual in Mandarin/Cantonese and/or Spanish.

CBC monetizes through three channels: multi-year contracts with California regional centers (San Gabriel/Pomona and Eastern Los Angeles Regional Centers, operating under four distinct vendor/provider numbers across service types), in-network health insurance billing for autism services under California SB 946 (Anthem, Blue Shield of California, Cigna, Health Net, LA Care, Optum), and private-pay engagements on a pay-as-you-go basis. Customer acquisition is referral- and community-led, driven by case manager authorizations, parent workshops, community events (Autism Speaks Walk, Fiesta Educativa), and co-hosted educational programming with regional centers and family resource organizations. A sister agency, Familias First, provides intensive ABA services and operates as a complementary care-continuum partner.
