✨ Employee Spotlight: Mia Drouin
Clinical Director & Co-Owner 💙
🧠 What inspired you to pursue a career in ABA and become a BCBA?
During my short time as a teacher, I had the opportunity to work with several children with autism. I quickly fell in love with how these amazing kiddos view the world and the unique ways they learn. That experience sparked my passion for supporting their growth and development and ultimately led me to pursue a career in ABA and become a BCBA.
🌟 What’s your favorite part of mentoring and supporting Behavior Technicians?
My favorite part is celebrating the successes they experience with their clients. I love empowering Behavior Technicians and helping them realize how vital they are in their clients’ skill development and learning. Their dedication and hard work truly make a lasting impact.
🤝 How do you approach building meaningful connections with clients and families?
I focus on building trust and open communication from the start. I strive to meet families where they are, listen to their goals and concerns, and ensure they feel supported throughout the process. Collaborating with families helps us create meaningful goals that truly improve the client’s daily life.
📚 Advice for someone new to ABA:
Be patient with yourself and stay curious. Every client is different and will teach you something new. Celebrate the small wins, ask questions, and remember that the relationships you build with your clients are just as important as the programs you run.
💙 What do you love most about being part of the TruNorth team?
I love being part of a team that truly cares about both the clients and the staff. It’s inspiring to work alongside people who are passionate about what they do and who are always willing to collaborate, support one another, and grow together.
⛳ Fun fact:
One fun fact about me is that I played golf in college, and in my free time I enjoy collecting unique items like skeleton keys and coins.
👏 Thank you, Mia, for your leadership and dedication to the TruNorth community!
