• A reinforcement master: You don’t just teach reinforcement, you live it—high-fives, goofy cheers, and genuine praise are your love language.
• A data detective: You get a thrill from seeing graphs climb, spotting trends in behavior, and using data to tell the story of progress.
• A behavior puzzle-solver: Whether it’s a tricky tantrum, a stubborn skill, or a curveball day, you dive in with creativity and calm.
• A family translator: You can take ABA jargon and turn it into simple, supportive guidance that parents actually understand and appreciate.
• A little bit playful: You know therapy works best when it’s fun, and you’re not afraid to get on the floor, use silly voices, or celebrate tiny wins like they’re championship moments.
