Built for Yuma Families, Backed by Arizona ESA Funding

Yuma families researching autism schools already know the local landscape. Menta Academy Yuma serves a broad special-education population, not autism specifically. Valley Springs Academy runs a remote-only model, which works for some families and leaves others without the in-person peer interaction their child needs to build real social skills.
Total Care Learning Academy is different on both counts. Our Yuma campus is built specifically for children with autism, ages 5 to 17, staffed explicitly by BCBAs and RBTs working alongside classroom educators, not generalist “certified educators” managing a mixed caseload. And it is an in-person campus, five days a week.
We are also an approved provider for Arizona’s Empowerment Scholarship Account, so ESA-eligible Yuma families can apply funds directly toward tuition. Our admissions team walks you through the ESA process personally instead of pointing you toward a state portal and wishing you luck.

ESA Funding at Our Yuma Campus

Using Your Empowerment Scholarship Account at Total Care Learning Academy

Arizona’s ESA program lets qualifying families redirect state education funding toward an approved private school. Total Care Learning Academy is an ESA-approved provider for our Yuma campus. Our team handles the application walkthrough, the required paperwork, and the renewal timeline, so funding is never the reason a family delays enrollment.

Finding Our Yuma Campus

Our campus is positioned for easy access from central Yuma and nearby Somerton and San Luis, with drive times that stay reasonable for daily attendance rather than the two-plus-hour trip families currently face reaching autism-specific schools in Phoenix.

"Before Total Care Learning Academy, our son had bounced through three schools in two years. He's been here for eight months, and he actually asks to go in the morning. I still can't believe that's real."

"I walked in expecting to feel like just another intake appointment. Instead, someone sat with me for an hour and just asked questions about my daughter. Not her diagnosis. Her. That was the moment I knew."
