Welcome
Welcome to the LA FEAT Web Site!
LA FEAT is Los Angeles Families for Effective Autism Treatment. LA FEAT was founded by parents of autistic children. LA FEAT is a non-profit, 501(c)3 organization for parents and families of children with autism. We have a board of directors of parents of children with autism. We serve families in greater Los Angeles and the surrounding counties.
LA FEAT believes that newly diagnosed children with autism should receive intensive, quality, effective treatment that is based in research. LA FEAT’s mission is to provide education to families and the community on effective autism treatments, and to provide support to families seeking effective treatments for their children on the autism spectrum.
Our Monthly Meetings are held the second Monday of every month from 7:00-9:00pm at:
Kiwanis Club Hall of Hermosa Beach 2515 Valley Drive Hermosa Beach, CA 90254For our new parents see our newly diagnosed presentation
Applied Behavior Analysis has been proven effective through published, long-term, replicated research. If appropriate, we believe that children with autism should start a quality, intensive ABA program as soon after diagnosis as possible.
LA FEAT provides support to families not available anywhere else in Southern California, free of charge. At our monthly meetings, parents hear about the latest autism research and practices from the most respected experts around. They can meet other parents and learn about local agencies providing quality programs. And they can get advice on navigating “the system” to secure funding for services for their child.
Join us! We are here to support families in this journey.
