About Us
We empower children with special needs and their families to thrive. Through compassionate Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, comprehensive early intervention, and hands-on parent education, we give every child the tools to reach their full potential—building a brighter, more inclusive future together.
Nearly 1 in 10 children in California—almost one million kids—live with special healthcare needs. Whether facing physical, developmental, or behavioral challenges, these children deserve the targeted care and support they need to learn, grow, and truly thrive in everyday life¹.
Founded by Desiree Q. Luong, Honu Intervention delivers compassionate, family-centered care. We seamlessly coordinate with interdisciplinary teams to ensure every child receives cohesive, personalized support that helps them thrive. We provide comprehensive early intervention, behavioral support, and ABA, alongside speech, occupational, and physical therapy. To ensure care is accessible, we accept Early Start, commercial insurance, and private/out-of-pocket options.
Our children shape the future. By providing them with early, essential interventions today, we unlock their boundless potential for tomorrow
Origin of the Name and Logo
In Hawaiian culture, the Green Sea Turtle, or “Honu,” is revered as a symbol of protection, good luck, and wisdom. Honu are seen as gentle guardians of the sea, navigating the ocean with grace and resilience.
We chose the name Honu Intervention to reflect our deep commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment for children and families—offering the protective care and guidance needed to navigate life's milestones with confidence
Our logo features a stylized sea turtle—a gentle emblem of resilience, strength, and steady guidance. Just as the Honu gracefully navigates the vast ocean, our mission is to guide and empower children as they navigate their own unique journeys. The turtle serves as a constant visual reminder of our pledge to nurture every child’s growth with patient, compassionate care.
