What Clients Say

Kristin

My son has grown and learned so much from the team at AIA. He loves the team and they love him...

Amanda

My son loves this program. He started when he was 21 months year old, so I was picky in choosing where he would go. I love that it is play based and he is 1-on-1 with a therapist the whole time.

Dave

I highly recommend Arizona Institute for Autism. Rula Diab runs a fantastic clinic and has an amazing team. Shoutout to Coach D - it is incredible that they have a former NFL Player helping with P.E.! They also held a birthday party for our son. Amazing and so full of love & care...
