As a business, Applied Behavioral Approaches (ABA) was founded with the goal of establishing a system of support for families of children with autism and other co-occurring developmental disabilities. We pride ourselves on meeting the unique needs of each child we serve.

​

To provide clients with the highest level of care, we strive to stay current with the most effective, evidence-based practices, utilize technology, review the current research, and attend workshops/seminars to further enhance our knowledge and skills. Most importantly we are committed to subscribing to the 6 pillars, or what I like to call the 6 petals of quality care: safe, timely, effective, efficient, patient-centered, and equitable. We also recognize the importance families play in the therapeutic process and continuously provide parent/caregiver training to ensure generalization and maintenance of each child's newly developed skills.

As an individual, I have worked in the field of education for over 20 years with students in elementary school through post-secondary institutions. During my career I have worked with students who possess various exceptionalities including autism, Down syndrome, cognitive and hearing impairments, as well as emotional/behavioral disorders.

​

It is my passion for working with these individuals and their families that inspired me to return to school after having already obtained a doctorate in Leadership & Organizational Change to acquire a second master's degree in Special Education with an emphasis in Applied Behavior Analysis and to seek the Board Certified Behavior Analyst credential. Additionally, I have sought professional development to impact a myriad of issues impacting my students including selective mutism, emotional/behavioral impairments, and body-focused repetitive behaviors. I have wrapped all of these experiences together to start

Applied Behavioral Approaches.
