Kori's Behavioral Center

It's not just a name. It's a story.

Driven by our own family's story of raising a child with special needs, we are committed to providing unsurpassed ABA services at our behavioral center in California.

Our Story

A story of love, courage & one amazing girl

Kori's Behavioral Center is not just a business name — it's a story of love, heartbreak, courage, strength, and the unconditional love of a mother that would triumph against all odds.

Our company was founded by Sean Khodabakshian, and Kori is the name of his niece. Anyone who has met Kori knows it's virtually impossible not to fall in love with her. She is beautiful, cheerful, loving, playful, and… she has Down syndrome.

After the heartbreaking loss of their second child, Kali, Sean's brother and his wife received hopeful news: they were expecting again. They learned during the pregnancy that Kori would be born beautifully unique and differently abled — and they committed to doing whatever it takes to give her the best life possible.

Every child can thrive

"Today, Kori is doing excellent and making a lasting impression on everyone — because her parents put her in therapy very early on."

But our story doesn't end with Kori. At the center of it all is an unseen hero: Kori's exceptional caretaker and loving mom, Christina. She is the inspiration behind our groundbreaking hybrid agency.

While Sean was impressed with the tools available to help Kori, he couldn't help noticing the lack of support for Christina. She was overwhelmed, with little time for herself — let alone her health and fitness. Being a professional trainer himself, Sean asked the big "what if": what if one place provided therapy for children with special needs and care for the parents who need a little time for themselves?

Hence, the birth of Kori's Behavioral Center, Inc. — a unique combination of an ABA therapy agency for children with behavioral health challenges and a fitness center for those children and their parents who aspire to live fit, healthy lives while caring for their loved ones.
