Friends and Colleagues
Juanita, Liz and Jen met in college in the mid-1990s and quickly became life-long friends.
They co-owned an ABA agency called Enriching the Lives of Children with Autism (ELCA) for over 10 years. During this time, they developed a permanent bond based on their passion for the field of ABA, down-to-earth approach to providing services, care for their learners and families, and genuine affection for each other.
Their professional journeys have taken them far, and they are thrilled to introduce ABA In Real Life, LLC!
After over 30 years united together as colleagues, partners, and tried-and-true friends, we decided it was time to reach out beyond our clinical practice. Our goal is to share with you our combined expertise in the areas of parent support, staff training, and clinical best practices.
ABA In Real Life was born from a desire to bring our collective decades of experience to a broader reach of parents and professionals. If you are looking for straight-forward and highly effective strategies to improve your every day life, you are in the right place.
