E12: What Is Applied Behavior Therapy? with Christina and Alyssa

Welcome to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast with Dr. Kerry Reller! This week I am joined by Christina Morales and Alyssa Dangler. Christina Morales is a BCBA, entrepreneur, wife, and autism mom. Her son, Vinny, started ABA services in 2012 at the age of five, and Christina quickly realized the impact that Behavior Analysis had on her son’s ability to communicate. This inspired Christina to pursue a career in ABA, knowing that she wanted to help other families experience the same breakthrough.Alyssa started her as an ESE teacher, her love of ABA grew and she began working as a behavior therapist before returning to school to complete her BCaBA certification (FIT), followed by her BCBA certification through Ball State in 2019. With over eight years of experience in the field, Alyssa brings a wealth of knowledge and an invaluable skill set to our team. The three core values within Christina’s companies – Inclusion, Quality, Respect – stem from her desire to provide exceptional services with the same compassion and understanding that she wanted for her own son. Vinny has and continues to be her inspiration to better herself, her organizations, and her community.In this episode we discuss what ABA therapy is, how it is used and what it is like to work with Piece of the Puzzle.Connect with Christina and AlyssaFollow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/potpba/Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/potpbaWebsite: https://www.potpba.com/Connect with Dr. RellerPodcast website: https://thegethealthytampabaypodcast.buzzsprout.com/My linktree: linktr.ee/kerryrellermdFollow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ClearwaterFamilyMedicine/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clearwaterfamilymedicine/Clearwater Family Medicine and Allergy website: www.cfma.healthPodcast: https://gethealthytbpodcast.buzzsprout.com Subscribe to the Get Healthy Tampa Bay Podcast on Apple podcasts, spotify, amazon music, iheartradio, stitcher, google podcasts, pandora
