Behavior Frontiers Recognized by Autism Speaks

Behavior Frontiers staff members banded together forming a team to raise money for the Autism Speaks LA Walk. Working together and with the community they were able to raise over $2,000 for the organization, which qualified them as a Bronze Level Sponsor!

Autism Speaks hosts nearly 100 walks across the country each year, with the Los Angeles event being one of the largest. Behavior Frontiers has been an active participant in Autism Speaks Walks for nearly a decade a half, and as the company grows nationally, we are taking part in more and more Events. Come by and say hello to our teams at the upcoming New York City (September 15), Washington DC (October 5) and Boston (October 6) Autism Speaks Walks, to name just a few.

“I’m so glad I was able to attend the awards event,” said Joy Wong, Clinical Director for the San Gabriel Valley region. “I met the national CEO of Autism Speaks, Angela Geiger, and both Behavior Frontiers and the San Gabriel Valley office received an award. My team worked very hard for this, and now we get to celebrate that hard work!”
