Saba Torabian, M.A., M.S., PhD, BCBA, Founder and CEO

 

Saba Torabian, PhD, BCBA is the founder and CEO of ICAN. Her passion and inspiration to help families and children with autism came after both of her sons, Cameron and Ryan, were diagnosed with autism. Motivated by a vision both bold and bright, Saba set forth to establish a center unlike any other. It would be a place where empathy sprang not just from professional training but from the profound depths of shared experiences and cultural connections. This center would not merely be a clinic but a community hub where families like hers could find understanding, support, and celebration. A place where parents wouldn't just receive coping strategies but would feel seen and supported, where children like Cameron and Ryan could find not only therapy but also acceptance and friendship. Saba received her PhD in Child and Human Development at the University of California Davis, where she researched on children with autism and ADHD. She received her first Master’s degree from San Francisco State University in Social Psychology, her second Master’s degree from UC Davis in Child Development, and her third Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). She is the recipient of multiple awards and recognitions, including a letter of recognition from the White House for her contributions to the field of autism in general, autism advocacy, and autism research. 

Eduardo Ibarra, M.S., BCBA, Clinical Director

 


 Eduardo Ibarra, M.S., BCBA, serves as the Clinical Director at ICAN. His passion for working with children began at a young age, often volunteering with youth to make a positive impact in their lives. It wasn’t until college that he discovered the field of autism, and this close experience with children on the spectrum inspired him to pursue a career as a behavioral therapist. Eduardo graduated from San Jose State University and immediately immersed himself in ABA therapy, providing one-on-one support in homes, schools, and communities.

In 2019, he earned his Master’s Degree from National University and soon became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Now, with nearly ten years of experience, working with the autism community has become more than just a profession—it is a way of life for Eduardo. He is planning to pursue a PhD and dreams of one day establishing his own ABA practice in Mexico to raise awareness and support for this greatly underserved community.
