THERAPISTS/TUTORS/CERTIFIED BEHAVIOR
ANALYSTS Offering Services
in CONNECTICUT
This free Employment Bulletin-Board is principally ABA focused. It is
provided as a service to help prospective employees and employers find
each other. CT FEAT reserves the right to reject any proposed listings
and to edit them for length WHICH SHOULD NOT EXCEED A DOZEN LINES.
TYPICALLY, LISTINGS ARE UPDATED MONTHLY. Most listings will be removed
after one year unless renewal is requested.
DISCLAIMER: CT FEAT does not
recommend or endorse any of the employers or employees listed here.
Neither can we verify the accuracy of the information they provide. Due
to the tremendous demand for ABA services, many individuals make
unwarranted claims of expertise in this field. Parents need to educate
themselves regarding the minimal qualifications that an ABA provider
should have. For more information on these qualifications, see the
guidelines published by the Cambridge Center for Behavioral Studies.
For a state by state listing of those who have met these minimal
qualifications, check the "certificant registry" maintained by the
Behavior
Analyst Certification Board.
Although a formal credential in
behavior analysis is evidence that a professional has met minimum
competency standards, it does not guarantee that the individual has
specific expertise in autism, nor that s/he can produce optimal
treatment outcomes. Even those who do have autism training may be
lacking the clinical depth and experience to provide appropriate
treatment to a given age group, level of impairment, etc. Also keep in
mind that the credentialing of professional behavior analysts has only
been in place on an international level since 2000. So there may be some
competent service providers who are still in the process of applying for
BACB certification.

Bristol, CT 06010
I have had the experience of working in ABA for about six years now. I
have my B.A. in Psychology from St. Joseph’s College in West Hartford. I
also have approximately six years of ABA and Discrete Trial training in
both a preschool setting and home-based program. I grew up with a
sibling with autism and that is the reason I made this my career. Using
the tools of ABA therapy and having an appropriate program that was set
up by Susan Johnson of the Alpine Center, my sibling had the label of
autism removed at the age of eleven. The hard consistent and effective
communication paid off in my sibling’s case. I want to take this
experience and help other children and their families live life to their
fullest potential. I would like to have the chance to be part of a team
that has the expectations that the sky is the limit for every child. I
am available for private sessions too.

programs for children up to age 21 who have PDD and ASD disorders. I
utilize Discrete Trials, Natural Environment Training, maintenance and
generalization. This includes extensive data, values and graphs of
baselines and progress. I also create communication boards utilizing
PECS and write social stories. I have also worked with kids in real life
situations and have been on job sites with them. I will work one-on-one
with your child to strengthen existing skills and build those that have
not yet developed utilizing repetition, feedback and a lot of positive
reinforcement. References are available from school administrators,

in which I have worked, as well as from private families. I specialize

including music. I would like to work in the Hartford region.
