LA FEAT was founded by parents of autistic children. We are a non-

profit 501©3 organization dedicated to helping families obtain

quality, effective autism therapies. LA FEAT emphasizes the

importance of research based, data driven treatment for Autism

Spectrum Disorders. We endorse Applied Behavioral Analysis as the

most effective treatment available. Current clinical research shows

that nearly half of all young children with autism treated by an in-

home intensive behavioral program achieve normal intellectual and

educational functioning by the first grade. Even if they do not,

nearly all children are taught how to overcome their limitations in

learning with intensive, one-on-one training programs. LA FEAT

recommends that families carefully research treatment options and

providers. We are here to support families in this journey. Join us!
