My Story
I was introduced to Applied Behavior Analysis during an internship in my undergrad. I worked in a special education elementary school with children with different disabilities, like Autism. The teachers taught their students using ABA methods and I was so fascinated and impressed with how well the students were responding to their teaching. The teachers used these ABA methods, like positive reinforcement for different activities like handwriting, potty training, play skills, crafts, walking in line with peers, etc. I fell in love with ABA because I realized I can use it to help kids in all aspects of their lives. ABA isn’t limited to academics or physical activity; we can help our kids make their day easier in any way they need us to. I became an RBT, then a BCBA, and have been loving it ever since.
My Eyas Landing
I enjoy working at Eyas because I get to collaborate with the different disciplines. We work together as a team to target important skills. I love to learn from them and it makes me a better BCBA.
