Nikki has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2012, beginning in public schools before moving into in-home ABA in 2016 under the mentorship of Liz. She has also volunteered at a special needs school in India and worked as both a special needs and neurotypical nanny. Today, Nikki is building Autism Impact (autismimpact.org), an online platform helping families find caregivers for their autistic loved ones. Outside of work, she enjoys hiking, sailing, traveling, riding motorbikes, rock climbing, yoga, and spending time with her nephew and family.

I started working in public schools in 2021 as a para and became a RBT in 2024. I have been working in home for the passed year. I truly love what I do-my passion for ABA keeps me motivated to keep learning and making a positive impact on individuals and families I work with! In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family/friends, going to the beach, and going on walks with my dog. 

I have over six years of experience working with children with special needs in a variety of settings, including in-home therapy, clinics, and autism playgroups. I'm passionate about helping children grow and succeed in their everyday lives by using personalized strategies that build on each child’s unique strengths. As a parent of a child on the autism spectrum, I also bring a personal understanding and empathy to the support I provide.

Hi, I'm Brad and I am from West Hartford, CT. I’ve spent the past three years working in elementary schools with special needs children. My favorite hobbies are playing sports, cooking, and going skiing. My favorite Sports are Golf, Lacrosse, and Hockey.

Hello! I’m Bianca and I’m a suburban girl. I love living in the country where it is calm and quiet. I started ABA in 2019 when I was in college.

Some of my favorite hobbies outside of ABA are going on nature walks, self-care and trying new places to eat.

I am a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with experience supporting children in both school and in-home settings. I am currently pursuing my degree at Capella University, with the goal of becoming a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). I am passionate about helping individuals, especially children, build meaningful skills that increase independence and confidence in their everyday lives.

I’m currently in school for nursing and started working as a Behavior Technician in 2025. I have siblings with autism, so I have always been familiar with the unique needs of children and the challenges families face. This allows me to provide understanding, compassion, and sensitivity in the work I do. 

I love working with kids and making an impact in their lives. These are someone’s babies, and my priority is making sure they are safe while learning and growing. 

In my free time, I love to cook, bake, and journal.
