Sarah, M.A., BCBA, LBA

 

Sarah is a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) who is licensed to provide applied behavior analysis services in Missouri. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Psychology from the University of Central Missouri (UCM) and a Master of Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis from Ball State University. During her time at UCM, she found the field of ABA and became fully invested in exploring all of the coursework and applying behavioral principles in research and applied settings. Her favorite quote from the field is from B.F Skinner himself: “Don’t try to change yourself, change your environment.”

 

Sarah began working in the field in 2015, starting as a direct care staff professional for adults with developmental disabilities at a habilitation center. After working in the field with adults, Sarah moved to Seattle, Washington where she began working as a behavior therapist with children ages 2-15 years old in homes, schools, and social group settings. She became driven in helping children learn to communicate and socialize in the world around them, and continued her career in 2019 by moving back to Missouri and becoming a Registered Behavior Technician, working with children in a clinical setting. Sarah continued her career, becoming a Lead RBT where she developed her skills as a trainer for newly minted RBTs. 

 

In 2024, Sarah became a licensed Board Certified Behavior Analyst and is now managing a caseload, supervising staff, and training new RBTs. In her free time, Sarah enjoys spending time with her husband and daughter, reading, and quoting movies of all kinds.
