Behavioral Intervention Association -Emeryville

Our son was diagnosed with Autism in 2000 and we then started a multi-year collaboration with BIA. Despite significant disabilities associated with autism spectrum disorder our son rapidly cycled through communication handicapped pre-school shadow teachers in 1st grade and then mainstream educational experiences. I recall most of all BIAs professionalism and assured advocacy for more challenging social and learning situations for our son who now has a BS in Engineering from a premier STEM program and a challenging position in a prominent research laboratory. If you have met one autistic person the saying goes you have met one autistic person. Every case and situation is unique. BIA was our essential invaluable ally in crafting and implementing a customized program for our son for which we will always be eternally grateful.

We contacted BIA4Autism when we received our sons Dx PDD-NOS when he was 3.5 years old. As you can imagine we were distraught. However over the next two years they worked with him and us to bring him out of his shell and introduce him to the world that was waiting. We love BIA and are glad that they are here to serve. We find that they really care about their clients and we have been asked by them to help parents who were like we were in the beginning. We are also happy donors to the service and are grateful that they were there when we needed them. And we want them around to help others. We now have a 16 year old son who is a nice person a really good student and eager to learn to drive get a job find a girlfriend and start college. He is where he is because of the ground work that BIA laid. We will be forever grateful to BIA4Austism.

This brilliant creative team of autism specialists taught our whole family and ultimately our whole school district so much. I have so much respect for DeAnne and all at BIA and endless gratitude for their commitment to our son.

BIA provided services for my son for 3 months and then they cut the services without any notification. Its unethical and inhuman to stop service to the person who needed the most.They stopped their service without any notice and packed their stuff out of our house the same day. They are so unprofessional group and we dont recommend them to anyone.
