Processes and will be available to answer questions after his 30

Bruce Bothwell is an attorney specializing in special education and

Regional Center cases. He is also the father of two children

diagnosed with autism. After graduating from U.C.L.A. and the

University of San Diego School of Law, Bruce was admitted to practice

in 1980. As a result of his personal experiences with his School

District and local Regional Center, Bruce began focusing on the

representation of autistic children and their parents under the

Individuals with Disabilities Education Act and the Lanterman Act. He

left his position as a partner in a civil litigation firm and formed

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!
