How long have you been with Behavior Interventions in Horsham, PA

I started at Behavior Interventions in 2010. I worked as a part-time technician, which is where I discovered my passion for the field of ABA and the profound impact our work has on clients. This inspired me to go back to school to earn my BCBA certification. After a few years as a BCBA, and then a BCBA supervisor, I became a Program Director in 2022 when we opened our first treatment center.

What initially drew you to Behavior Interventions and what keeps you feeling excited about the company and your position?

I was initially drawn to Behavior Interventions because I have an education background and thought that might be a good fit for the job. I’ve never worked for another ABA company and have been at BII ever since. Over the years, I’ve heard firsthand what makes our company special from employees who have joined us from other companies or even returned after leaving.

What keeps me excited is knowing that Behavior Interventions truly focuses on the client, operates ethically, and is opened and run by BCBAs who deeply care about the field. We are constantly striving to keep ahead of the field and provide the best services possible.

In my position, I particularly love the opportunities I have to teach. I enjoy working with our technicians in the RBT bootcamp program, mentoring interns as they study to become BCBAs, and supporting our current BCBAs as they help clients in the field.

What are the specific autism support services offered at the Horsham, PA treatment center?

Our center provides ABA services for clients in their homes, schools, in the community and in the treatment center.  

We offer an Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) program for kids ages 2-6. Each child has their own technician who helps them learn to communicate their wants and needs and to socialize and play with other children while also preparing them for Kindergarten. 

For employees, we offer a bootcamp program where employees spend 4 weeks in the treatment center getting hands-on experience in learning how to be an RBT. We also have a BCBA intern program where we mentor employees who are studying to become BCBAs. We offer them clinical training as well as supervision and study group opportunities to learn how to be successful in the role and how to work effectively with clients and families.

Do you have any exciting programs or updates to share about your Horsham, PA center?

We are currently focusing on the development and implementation of two exciting new initiatives. We are developing a full-day Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) program as well as a Center Based Social Instruction (CBSI) program. The CBSI program is specifically designed for school-aged clients, offering a structured after-school setting within the treatment center to enhance social skills alongside peers with similar developmental skills.
