About Dr. Abila Tazanu, M.D.: Abila is a pediatrician with more than 20 years of health and community service experience. She is a mother of five inspiring adult children, three of whom have autism and related co-existing emotional concerns. She serves as Spectrum's Lead Medical Guide/ Consultant, where she pursues her passion for enhancing the lives of those living with ASD and related abilities while enriching the communities in which we live!

Abila received her B.S. in Microbiology and her Doctorate of Medicine from Howard University in Washington, D.C., through an accelerated B.S.- M.D. Program. She then completed her pediatric residency at Inova Fairfax Hospital/ University of Virginia. A native of Washington, D.C., raised by parents who immigrated from West Africa and the Caribbean, she now resides in Maryland. Her cultural background and personal struggles to identify and support her own children created the vision for the One World Center for Autism, Inc. (a non-profit), where she served as director for 14 years.

Her drive to give hope and genuine support continues to fuel her passion to help individuals living with autism and related special needs in a more focused and holistic manner. Her vision is to create a standard of centralized comprehensive medical care and linkages to therapeutic interventions for all individuals on the spectrum which incorporates family support, individual support and community awareness.
