Happy ! 🎉 We're excited to introduce you to Mendi, one of our amazing BCBAs at the school-aged center. 🌟

Mendi's journey to becoming a BCBA is such a unique and inspiring one. She studied Consumer and Family Sciences at Purdue and went on to earn her Master's degree in ABA from Ball State. 🎓 But what truly sparked her passion for this field was her personal connection to developmental disabilities. When a family member was diagnosed with autism, she knew she had to be a part of making a positive impact in this community. 🧡

One of the things that fuels Mendi every day is seeing the progress made by her clients. Whether it's a big milestone or a small victory, it all makes a difference. 💪 And when she's not at work, Mendi loves spending time with her family - which includes 4 children, 2 goldendoodles, a koi pond, and chickens! 🐾🌻 But that's not all, she's also a talented singer and pianist, and recently picked up sewing as a new hobby. Talk about multi-talented! 😍

Mendi's been a part of our TGP family for quite some time and what she loves most is the sense of community and support we have here. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🏡

ABA is a systematic study of the intricate interplay between human behavior and the environment. In simpler terms, it's an exploration of why people do what they do in the world

Meet Chelsea, our fantastic BCBA at both the 53rd and Madison Avenue clinics! 🎉 A proud Purdue University alumna, she earned her Bachelor's in Human Services in December 2021.

Chelsea finds immense reward in witnessing her clients' progress and the transformative difference it brings to their lives.

Earlier this month, we had a great day at Piney Acres Farm with the kiddos from our 53rd Street and Madison Street clinics! 🎉 They had a blast with the barnyard animals, climbing around the playground, and bouncing on the jump pad. We also put our problem-solving skills to the test navigating the corn maze and pumpkin rope maze! 🌽🎃 Such a fun adventure!
