About Applied Behavior Associates
Our team is a passionate and dedicated, interdisciplinary group of professionals committed to exceeding your expectations. We strive to make every interaction comfortable and stress-free, supporting you and your family at every step of your ABA journey. Above all, we are deeply invested in creating lasting, positive change for each child and family we serve.
After 15 years of navigating ABA in my own family, I set out to make it accessible, natural, and part of everyday life for others. Applied Behavior Associates was founded with a single mission: to bring a client-centered approach to ABA, blending passion with evidence-based best practices to enrich the lives of our clients.
How it started...
Hello and Welcome!
Jacquees
"An integral part in our son’s development was our RBT, Ms. Alicia. One word to describe her is “Perfectionist”. She went above and beyond in helping my son manage his behavior. With her help, my son was able to adapt so well to General Ed in school! Now he is able to handle the virtual school so well. We infact were little sad when my son got discharged from his one on one sessions.."
"Every child needs a champion; an adult who will never give up on them!" --Rita F. Pierson
