My Journey
Our journey into applied behavior analysis started from a deeply personal place. Our child was diagnosed with high-intensity behavior and profound developmental delays at a young age. We were overwhelmed and heartbroken. At that time, there was limited awareness about ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis), and the recommendation was to transition him into an institutional setting. We felt a mix of fear, hope, and frustration as we tried to navigate this challenging path and find the best support for him. It was a difficult period, but finding a therapeutic home for our child gave us a glimmer of hope. After settling into this new routine, we had to move, which was another major change. This experience inspired me to open my own clinic to support other families who were facing similar challenges. Running the clinic allowed me to turn our personal struggles into a way to help others. Eventually, I decided to retire from clinic ownership to focus on launching ClearPath Behavior Solutions. Today, through ClearPath, I’m dedicated to BCBA mentorship and organizational behavior management coaching, using the empathy and clarity from our own journey to guide and support others in their paths.
