Our Story
Clinician-Founded. Clinician-Led.
Autism Behavior Intervention was founded in 2004 by two Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Marla Saltzman, Ph.D., BCBA-D, and Maureen Moore, M.A., BCBA. More than twenty years later, ABI is still led by its founders and its clinicians.
Instead of growing into a big-box provider, we have chosen to stay focused on Los Angeles County. That focus lets our supervisors stay closely involved in every child’s program and lets families get to know the people behind their child’s care.
