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

achieve normal functioning, nearly all children with autism benefit

from 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!
