EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
BIBA Officers
SIMONE STEVENS, BCaBA
President
Simone Stevens is the Chief Operating Officer at the Lovaas Institute for Early Intervention based in Culver City, California where she has been employed for over two decades. Simone began her career in ABA as an undergraduate psychology major at UCLA. She first came across the work of Ivar Lovaas in her abnormal psychology textbook and signed up to take his introductory behavior modification class the next quarter. Like so many other students in his class, Simone was completely mesmerized by Dr. Lovaas. Beginning fieldwork directly with clients of his UCLA clinic was life-changing and Simone instantly found her passion.
Simone obtained her BCaBA in 2003 and after working in direct service and supervisory positions within the clinical department, she took on leadership roles within the administrative team. Simone is committed to developing policy and initiatives where staff expertise and clinical integrity are always prioritized.
