SANTA BARBARA, CA, May 20, 2026 – On April 23, 2026, State Senate President pro Tempore Monique Limon welcomed leaders from 360 Behavioral Health, CenCal Health, and Tri-Counties Regional Center, along with local families, to her district office to share their experiences and perspectives on the current state of autism care. 

 

The group explored challenges and opportunities related to ensuring timely and effective access to essential services. Participants included 360 Behavioral Health CEO, Kate Sheldon Princi, CenCal Health CEO, Marina Owen, and Tri-Counties Regional Center (TCRC) Associate Executive Director, Diva Johnson.

 

Senator Limon heard personal stories from families whose testimony highlighted the positive impact ABA-based therapy has had on their daily lives. The meeting underscored a shared commitment to improving the system of care for the autism and neurodiverse communities throughout the region.

 

At the meeting’s conclusion, participants had the chance to tour 360 Behavioral Health’s Santa Barbara autism care center to learn more about the delivery of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA)-based treatment and support available for individuals in the community diagnosed with autism or other developmental disabilities.
