As a first-generation college student of Latinx heritage, my journey into the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) was deeply influenced by my cultural background and experiences. Growing up, I witnessed firsthand how cultural and language differences can impact access to quality care and support, especially within minority communities. This awareness sparked a passion within me to create change and ensure that no individual is left behind due to linguistic or cultural barriers. Throughout my career, I have had the privilege of working with children across a spectrum of diagnoses, including autism, Down syndrome, Fragile X, ADHD, ODD, and more. My experiences conducting Functional Behavior Assessments (FBA) and developing tailored interventions have reinforced my belief in the importance of cultural competence in treatment.
However, as I navigated various roles within the industry, I encountered a common challenge: the inability of many organizations to provide effective services due to language barriers and cultural insensitivity. This realization fueled my determination to be different—to create an ABA company that prioritizes cultural awareness and inclusivity at its core.
Thus, I founded the Center for Skills Development with a clear vision: to bridge the gap between diverse communities and quality ABA services. At the Center for Skills Development, we are dedicated to breaking down barriers and ensuring that every individual receives the support they deserve, regardless of their background. Through our commitment to cultural competence and multilingual support, we strive to empower families to advocate for their loved ones and actively participate in the treatment process. Our goal is not only to provide exceptional care but also to foster a sense of belonging and understanding for all those we serve.
