who we are
In 1977, something remarkable began. Judith Weber was searching for inventive solutions to an overwhelming challenge: providing a relevant and effective education for her severely autistic son, Tobin. Her efforts and successes attracted the support of other parents and of the school district, who urged her to start a new school. Tobinworld was born, and for over 40 years served the needs of up to 300 emotionally disturbed, autistic or developmentally disabled students a year.
In 2003, Tobinworld expanded its charter to open a non-profit community-based mental health clinic, treating children and adolescents struggling with developmental disabilities and mental health challenges and supporting their families in meeting these challenges. We assist youth ages 5 to 21 in developing the skills and behaviors that support a happy and productive life.
We believe that parents and caregivers play a vital role in improving the lives of their children and view them as an essential part of our treatment team.
What We Offer
community-based services
Tobinworld is proud of the difference our contribution makes to our community. Community is at the heart of all our efforts: it plays a key role in healing, nurturing, and empowering young people. A child belongs to many communities: family, friends, school, and eventually work and the world at large. As important as each of these is in helping a young person reach their fullest potential, it is also vital for a child to experience their own contribution to their world. To empower them, we work to empower the entire family.
We offer individual therapy, family therapy, therapeutic behavioral support services, case management, and psychiatric services. Services in our Community Mental Health Center are funded by the LA County Department of Mental Health through Medi-Cal

connection
No matter how distant we are, the key to emotional well-being will always be caring human connection.
Life in the shadow of COVID-19 has presented many challenges to all of our lives. At Tobinworld, we have adapted our full array of services to various telehealth options, from Zoom to Facetime. As our prime concern is the physical and emotional health of our clients and staff, please schedule any in-person visit requests through our administrative staff.
