What is ABA therapy?

ABA therapy, or Applied Behavior Analysis therapy, is a way to help individuals, especially those with autism and other developmental disorders, learn new skills and improve their behavior. It is based on the principles of behaviorism and focuses on the relationship between a person's behavior and their environment. ABA therapy can include a variety of techniques such as positive reinforcement, shaping, and modeling. It is often used to help individuals improve their social, communication, and academic skills. In simple terms, ABA therapy is a way to teach new skills and improve behavior using a scientific approach.

BIO

Kristy found her passion for those of us who see life differently on a dance floor of a high school prom. But not her high school prom, the one she hosted for those with different needs. Her education and experience at centers such as Kennedy Krieger and the Shafer Center in the Baltimore area developed this passion into a profession. As a behavioral therapist team lead, she learned the role hands-on in clinical settings. Upon certification as a BCaBA, she worked in communities, schools, and in home settings.  She received her master’s degree with Florida Institute of Technology in December of 2021.  Being a BCBA, she has an open-minded attitude and a willingness to learn, which drives her to pursue more knowledge in treating people of all kinds. Her motivation is to assist her clients in achieving greater psychological flexibility and authenticity by guiding them towards a more fulfilling life that aligns with their personal values.  When she is not practicing, you can find Kristy around her many houseplants and experiencing travel with her husband and son in as many places as possible.
