Hello everyone and welcome to Advantage Autism and Therapy Services, LLC. I am still in the early stages of starting this venture and cannot wait to provide you with quality services. I moved back to Iowa almost 2 years ago and was surprised at the limited number of resources in the area for those with autism. I am making it my mission to offer more accessible services to those in the Muscatine area.
I got my start in this field while earning my undergrad in Social Work. I worked with a 6 year old boy who had autism and immediately became fascinated by autism and applied behavior analysis. I loved celebrating all the milestones this boy achieved and felt such joy in this work. I spent almost a year working with him before services ended. I then focused on my degree and earned my Bachelor of Social Work from Indiana University. I worked in child welfare for a few years, but constantly thought about my time with that boy. It caused me to further my education and find employment with an ABA clinic. I earned my Master of the Arts in Applied Behavior Analysis from Ball State University and soon after achieved my status as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). In my time as a BCBA, I have worked with children with autism developing daily programming to aid in their life skill development, communication, and social interactions and developing intervention plans to decrease problem behaviors while teaching replacement behaviors. I have also consulted with treatment teams for adults with brain injuries and intellectual disabilities to develop behavior intervention plans. It is such a joy to see my clients succeed. When they succeed, I succeed!
