Autism Behavior Consultants
In 2001, Autism Behavior Consultants (ABC) was founded by Laura Roberts and has been providing intensive behavior intervention to families in the L.A., San Gabriel Valley, and Inland counties. Laura has taken advocacy to the next step, by becoming one of the founding board members of LA FEAT. Having previously held the position of co-founding member of the South Bay GFCF group, which is now the South Bay chapter of TACA (Talk About Curing Autism), as well as a current board member of the Autism Society of Los Angeles.
Autism Behavior Consultants (ABC) is an agency specializing in the treatment of autism and related developmental disorders. Our agency utilizes applications of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) such as Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) and Skinner’s analysis of Verbal Behavior. ABA is a methodology used to optimize the learning environment for children with autism spectrum disorders.
When my 3-year old son Nicky was diagnosed with autism, I searched for clinic-based programs to help him. With limited options and long waiting lists, I joined up with several other parents and developed a workshop model program that ultimately became Autism Behavior Consultants. My journey with my son’s development has given me the opportunity to meet amazing parents and build lifetime relationships. And through Autism Behavior Consultants, I am able to give back by sharing my personal experiences, knowledge, and resources. If you have a child with autism spectrum disorder or a related disorder and are looking for help, please contact ABC or complete our client inquiry form.
Autism Behavior Consultants (ABC) specializes in the treatment of autism spectrum disorder and related developmental disorders. At ABC, we utilize evidence-based applications of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) to address deficit skills (e.g. adaptive, play, social) and behavioral excesses (e.g. tantrum, eloping/fleeing) to improve the quality of life of the child and family. ABC collaborates with families to create a well-rounded, individualized treatment plan that targets behaviors that are of the highest priority, and provides training and support to parents and caregivers.
ABC considers every child uniquely individual with different needs and abilities. Our Board Certified Behavior Analysts design a tailored program addressing specific strengths and weaknesses in the areas of language, communication, play and socialization, daily living, and academic skills.
Our philosophy emphasizes positive reinforcement while taking a proactive approach to addressing behaviors. We strive to improve the quality of life for every child and family.
