isabel
RBT
Isabel struggled in school and dreaded going every day, she was easily distracted in classroom settings and hardly comprehended subjects. She soon moved to a one-on-one classroom where she didn’t have to learn the way the group did, but learned in ways that work best for her individual needs. ABA is one-on-one support for neurodivergent children, it guides them to achieve their goals, shows empathy to their struggles and constantly finds new learning tactics that work best for their individual needs. As an RBT she has seen her clients reach their behavioral goals and then some. She has enjoyed working together with families and BCBAs, she enjoys brainstorming new levels of promoting and tactics that fit individual clients. Most of all she loves seeing her clients excited, happy and ready to engage in sessions. This shows her that they love learning and enjoy behavioral therapy. Ultimately she became an RBT because she knows what it’s like to have a learning disability, she continues in this field because being a part of these kiddos growth is inspiring to me.
