After working in these various roles and settings, Brooke finds her passion to be working with children with autism in applied settings. In her free time, Brooke enjoys spending time with her baby boy, her dog, and 3 cats.

We provide evidence-based ABA therapy using only research-based models delivered by highly trained therapists and monitored by a Ph.D. level behavior analyst. Our approach to ABA is comprised of a family/guardian collaborative approach focused on generative learning. In contrast to some ABA approaches that focus on teaching each and every individual response and/or skill, our approach focuses on teaching “learn to learn skills”—skills when established automatically generate emergent responses/skills (i.e., responses/skills that have not been directly taught).

Families can expect expert-level ABA services provided by highly trained technicians and guided by a doctoral-level board certified behavior analyst. Goals of therapy will be centered around the client and family needs regarding remediating known skill deficits and behavioral concerns specific to the client. Treatment will be highly individualized.
