I am in graduate school for Applied Behavior Analysis and working to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Mo! I am a behaviorist! I got my degree from UCLA and ABA credits from Penn state. I work for an NPA that that only provides ABA therapy. I have been doing it now for 5 years. I no longer do therapy, I write programs, assessments and supervise the majority of the cases we have. I work with children mostly with Autism but also with different disorders (down syndrome, CP, seizure disorder, Asperger, PDD, ADHD) I also work with typical kids with challenging behaviors. It's a difficult job but i love it, kids are the best!
