Shining Their Light
Applied Behavior Analysis 2018
BCBA serving public school districts
Understanding the theories and practices is important to realizing how they can be applied.
I want to develop behavior programs based on scientific principles and feel confident that the work I am doing is individualized and targets the behavior I want to change. I also would like to become a BCBA, and I know this program will prepare me well.

Shared Living Case Manager, Seven Hill Foundation
I want to really make a change for the people I support.
I hope to gain the proper skills to go into the field and work with young children or adults to help reduce problem behaviors for struggling families.

Special Education Teacher and BCBA (supervisor), Worcester Public Schools
The class sizes are small, and the professors are accessible and kind.
Assumption’s ABA program provided opportunities for learning and assessment of student knowledge, practicum experience, and covered the perfect amount of content taught seamlessly, which was hugely influential in my achievement of passing the board exam through the BACB.

Behavioral Clinician, Horace Mann Educational Associates (HMEA)
The Applied Behavior Analysis program challenged and supported me in becoming a behavioral clinician
Each one of my instructors brought their own experience into the classroom which has been useful in my current position. I assist in creating Positive Behavioral Support plans that focus on adults increasing their independence and accomplishing their goals.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Applied Behavior Institute
ABA is different from psychology, as it’s a bit more scientific.
All of the classes we took provided us with a better understanding of the science and how evidence-based interventions make a socially significant difference.

Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Applied Behavior Institute
I’ve been working with people with special needs for over 30 years.
I would have ideas on how to help them, but I didn’t have the authority to implement those ideas. The more I got into my ABA program, the more empowered I felt. Now I’m better able to help clients express themselves, improve their lives, and gain independence.
Applied Behavior Analysis 2018
Board Certified Behavior Analyst, Shapiro Educational & Behavioral Consultants
The most rewarding aspect of my job is applying what I’ve learned on a day-to-day basis.
There’s a saying, ‘If you’ve met one person with autism, you’ve met one person with autism.’ Every client is different. Every day brings a unique challenge. I like that I can create new programs for specific individuals to help them move forward in their lives.
