I have been working with children with ASD since 2004.  I knew nothing about ASD when I started.  I knew I needed to learn more to provide the best services to my clients.  I returned to school to obtain my BA in Psychology, MAEd in Special Education with NJ teaching certifications in P-3, K-5, 6-8 supplemental and special education, and my MA in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).  I passed the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB) exam on the first try in 2013 to become a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA).  I have worked with children, diagnosed with ASD, 16 months to 20 years.  I have worked for multiple agencies in NJ and FL as a BCBA and Assistant Director.  I am now BCBA, Owner, and Executive Director at Licini, Inc. established 2019.  I have a daughter and a son who are now both officially adults.
