Meet Our Mascot

Cali the Cockatoo “Cali’s Motto: Be Brave, Be Bright, Be You!”

Cali the Cockatoo isn’t just a symbol – it’s a reflection of the heart and spirit of our dedicated clinicians. Inspired by a beloved pet from Bita Ghatan’s family, Cali represents the warmth, compassion, and commitment that define our team.

Cockatoos are known for their sweet and affectionate nature, and Bita’s original cockatoo, with its distinctive yellow-tinted white feathers, held a special place in her heart. This connection makes Cali more than just a mascot – it’s a meaningful reminder of the love and dedication we bring to our work.

The name “Cali” is a nod to our California roots while also emphasizing our commitment to diversity and inclusion. We chose a gender-neutral name to reflect our belief that everyone deserves to feel valued and included.

Dressed as a hero, Cali embodies the spirit of our clinicians – always striving to reach new heights and dedicated to supporting our families every day. Cali serves as a cheerful, uplifting presence, reminding us that together, we can overcome challenges and soar.

Our Philosophy

At Learning and Behavioral Center, we believe that every child has the potential to thrive — and it’s our mission to help them get there. Our approach is grounded in care, collaboration, and the science of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), always tailored to meet the unique needs of each child and family.

We focus on progress that feels personal. Our team designs individualized support plans that help children build the skills they need to navigate everyday challenges, grow in confidence, and engage more meaningfully with the world around them.

Using data-informed strategies and positive reinforcement, we help shape behaviors that support lasting success — in communication, social interaction, learning, and emotional well-being. But just as importantly, we create a space where children feel safe, encouraged, and understood.

Whether therapy takes place at home, in school, in the community, or in our center, we walk alongside families every step of the way — because real growth happens when we work together.
