“ABA gave me the knowledge and tools to manage classroom behaviors and to help other teachers understand why their students are behaving a certain way. I also feel like I am constantly growing—as a teacher, as someone who uses ABA in the classroom and as an individual who is always gaining a better understanding of my own behavior.”
Sara currently holds two master's degrees, one in Social Work and one in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). After 10 years of working in social services, she discovered ABA while she was working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) for extra income alongside her social work career.
“I find ABA a very rewarding field. Not only has it impacted the way I look at behavior, but applying scientific strategies to help people engage more socially and academically can greatly increase someone’s quality of life—that’s huge.”
