Cheerful Helpers Child and Family Study Center is a non-profit agency located in the heart of Los Angeles. The agency has been at the forefront of early intervention for the past 57 years. We are committed to the population that we serve providing hope to families and their young children. Who we serve: Over the last six decades, our family-centered early childhood intervention programs have been thoughtfully developed for young children with high functioning Autism Spectrum Disorders, attachment disorders, developmental delays, and for those with processing, learning and emotional challenges. What we do: We provide the essential therapeutic services for families and their young children experiencing significant developmental, social and emotional challenges. In a safe, warm setting, we offer a unique collaborative, educational and therapeutic approach, empowering the entire family to achieve their potential for life-long growth. We strive to maintain an environment that is respectful and supportive of each child's developmental accomplishments, emotional resilience and autonomy. Cheerful Helpers combines compatible theories of children's psychological and cognitive development with an attention to individual differences and family processes. Why we do it: We do this work in order to provide hope to families and their young children experiencing the challenges associated with significant developmental, social and emotional challenges. We also do this work because we are needed: there is no other organization that provides our unique combination of individualized attention to the entire family system, integrating multidisciplinary treatments all under an overarching framework that blends both a strengths based and a relationship-focused approach. Finally, we will continue to do this work because we have seen such remarkable and tangible results in the children and families we have treated.
