Who We Are

Behavioral Interventions for Children, LLC

Behavioral Interventions for Children, LLC (BIC) serves individuals with autism spectrum disorder and their families in Los Angeles County with applied behavior analysis (ABA) services, consultations, comprehensive psychological testing for children and families, and training.

The behavioral programs at BIC are designed to help individuals with autism and other developmental disabilities to improve their communication, social, and interpersonal skills. All programs are developed and supervised by Dr. Joseph Jacobs, a doctoral-level board certified behavior analyst. These interventions are based on principles of applied behavior analysis (ABA). ABA is the application of the principles of learning theory to change behavior of social significance (1968). This treatment approach has been endorsed by the US Surgeon General (1999) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (2001) for treating individuals with autism spectrum disorder. BIC offers a highly personalized approach tailored to the individual needs of each client. Developmental milestones and unique strengths and weaknesses of each client and their families are considered for development of treatment goals and optimal interventions based on the principles of ABA. 

Our company is currently a vendor for the Westside Regional Center (WRC). WRC is one of the 21 regional centers that provide services to persons, age three and above, with a disability. In California, services for those with developmental disabilities, including autism spectrum disorder, are coordinated through the Regional Center system of the Department of Developmental Disabilities (DDS). As a vendor for WRC, we will be providing ABA services to eligible individuals who utilize the services at any of the 21 regional centers.

The Department of Developmental Services phone number, to answer consumer and applicant appeals procedures questions, is 916-654-1987. Visit Appeals & Complaints: CA Department of Developmental Services for a description of appeals procedures.
