Philosophy of Care
I love ABA therapy because it is optimistic. There are ways to improve behavior and we will find strategies to do just that using our data to make informed decisions about our interventions. Helping my clients build skills to replace deficits, to help them and their families make life improvements with communication, laughter, social interactions, and independence is why I chose the behavior analysis profession.
