Evidence-Based ABA. Human-Centered Care.
Celebrating 20 Years of Serving the Community
Our story began more than two decades ago with a deep passion for helping others. From an early age, our founder was drawn to caring for individuals with unique needs — a passion that continued to grow through volunteer work in special education programs and the creation of peer support groups during high school.
Personal experiences, including raising a child diagnosed with autism, further shaped the vision for an organization rooted in compassion, understanding, and professional care. In 2003, Holding Hands Inc. was founded with a mission to support individuals and families impacted by developmental and mental health challenges.
What began as a small, family-run center has grown into a community-centered organization with locations across the greater Los Angeles area. Today, with more than 400 dedicated team members, we continue to operate with the same heart, purpose, and commitment to quality and access to care.
This is more than a business — it is a community and a mission. For over 20 years, we have been honored to walk alongside those we serve, holding hands every step of the way, and we look forward to the future ahead.
