My Story
As an older sister of two siblings diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, my journey has been a lifelong one. I have had many jobs throughout my life that always led me to working with individuals with disabilities. I was a paraprofessional in an elementary school, a WDSRA employee working in various inclusion programs, and an intense behavior specialist at a therapeutic day school. During my time as an intense behavior specialist, I decided to go back to school to get my Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis. I saw firsthand how impactful ABA could be with students I worked with at the therapeutic day school. As a BCBA, I have had the pleasure to witness individualized successes and growth that motivates me everyday to continue.
My Blue Bird Day
I know personally the importance early intervention can make on a child’s life and am very excited to begin my journey at Blue Bird Day.
My Blue Bird Day Goals
- My goal at Blue Bird Day is to acquire new skills and expand my knowledge as a BCBA in early intervention practices and work with parents to provide the best services for our clients
