Alora Behavioral Health
Alora Behavioral Health (formerly known as Howard Chudler & Associates) was founded in 1983 to serve the needs of southern California. While the original mission of the organization was to provide counseling and support for those experiencing substance use disorders, we have evolved over the years to primarily provide focused Applied Behavior Analysis and behavior interventions in homes and schools in Southern California and Phoenix, Arizona. In 2022, our leadership came together to reimagine how we care for people. Driven by the guiding question of “why?”, we uncovered an opportunity for more service options for families and build upon our 40 year legacy. This brought with it many changes including a new name, the addition of comprehensive intensive programming, expanded funding and insurance options, and extending our service reach to new communities. Though we may look a little different today, what hasn’t changed is our collective commitment to empower, collaborate, and grow with our clients.
