Please help us in welcoming one of our newest RBTs, Kenny!

“Hello, my name is Kenny and I’m so glad to have the opportunity to work with your child as their Registered Behavioral Technician (RBT). My role is to support your child’s personal growth and social development in a way that feels positive, encouraging, and individualized to their needs.

A little about me — I’ve always had a passion for helping others reach their potential. I take pride in being patient, caring, and truly dedicated to the progress of each person I work with. Building trust and meaningful connections is at the heart of what I do, and I believe that growth happens best in an environment filled with understanding and encouragement.

Outside of work, I’m very family-oriented and value the importance of creating supportive relationships—something I try to bring into my sessions every day. My goal is not only to help your child learn and develop new skills, but also to ensure they feel confident, respected, and celebrated along the way.”

Kenny, we are thrilled to have you on our team!

On Friday, December 5th, The Owen Academy gathered for our annual Christmas party, and this year’s celebration felt especially meaningful.

We chose The Artisan in downtown Durant as our venue. It was a perfect reflection of our community roots and the relationships that have supported us since day one.

Surrounded by warm lights, incredible cuisine, and the beautiful music of Victoria Lemmons, the evening felt like a true pause to breathe, celebrate, and reflect.

One of the most memorable moments of the night came when our owner, Brina Dutton, shared an emotional message with our team. She introduced the word FIERO, which is “the feeling you experience when you accomplish something that once felt impossible”.

Brina spoke about how often we see these moments in our work: the breakthroughs, the growth, the victories that our clients and their families celebrate, and the quiet wins we experience as professionals and human beings.

To carry that message into the new year, Brina presented each employee with a bracelet engraved with the word FIERO, a daily reminder of our purpose and the power of perseverance.

She announced FIERO as our team word for 2026, encouraging us to step into the coming year with gratitude and anticipation for every FIERO moment ahead.

The evening was filled with connection, joy, and heartfelt reflection—an inspiring close to another impactful year and a hopeful beginning to all that awaits in 2026.

As The Owen Academy continues to thrive and expand, we are thrilled to welcome new faces to our dedicated team. Our interview process is intentionally selective—only about 10% of applicants are chosen—ensuring that every addition to our staff meets the highest standards of excellence. We take pride in hiring individuals who are compassionate, focused, and deeply committed to our mission, because our clients and families deserve nothing less than the very best.

That said, it is our pleasure to introduce the newest member of the T.O.A. family: Faith! 💙

Hi, my name is Faith. I have been in the field of ABA since 2020, which is when I first stumbled upon ABA in general. I was pleasantly surprised to find that I really enjoyed it. Being able to work with the kids and see them grow and gain independence while learning how to do different tasks is really rewarding for me. To further my career I am going to start school in order to becoming a BCBA.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my kids, as well as doing my hobbies, such as reading, crocheting and eating.

Welcome to the team, Faith!

Thanksgiving: ABA Tips for Home

🦃 Prepare for Changes
• Talk about Thanksgiving in advance: explain who will be there, what food will be served, and what activities will happen.
• Use a visual schedule or social story to show the day's events.
• Preview new foods with small taste tests at home.

🦃 Manage Mealtime
• Offer choices: let your child pick between 2-3 food options.
• Use visual cues for turn-taking and sitting at the table.
• Reinforce trying new foods with praise or a small reward.

🦃 Support Communication
• Encourage your child to request help, food, or breaks using their preferred communication method (words, PECS, gestures, or AAC).
• Practice simple social phrases in advance: "Thank you," "Please," "Excuse me."

🦃 Plan for Breaks & Sensory Needs
• Identify a quiet space for breaks if the environment becomes overwhelming.
• Bring comfort items or sensory tools (noise-canceling headphones, fidget toys).
• Keep activities short and predictable.

🦃 Encourage Positive Behavior
• Reinforce polite greetings, sharing, and participation with specific praise.
• Use a token system or visual reinforcement if helpful.
• Remember: patience and consistency go a long way!

🦃 Celebrate Achievements
• Take photos or make a small journal entry for your child about their successes.
• Highlight small wins: trying a new food, greeting relatives, or waiting patiently.

🦃 Reminder: Every child is different. Focus on what works best for your child and celebrate progress—big or small!

🦃 Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at The Owen Academy!
