Ashley has been providing applied behavior analysis services to children and adults with autism spectrum disorder and other special abilities for over 10 years. Ashley earned her Bachelors of Science degree in applied developmental psychology from the University of Pittsburgh and went on to receive a Masters of Education with a specialization in autism spectrum disorder.

Our staff is made up primarily of Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs). The BCBAs are master's level clinicians. In addition to obtaining a master's degree the BCBAs must complete extensive coursework in applied behavior analysis, obtain 1500 hours of supervision using the principles of ABA, and pass a board exam to demonstrate their competence.

Our clinicians are also licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine and trained in CPR, basic life support (BLS), and crisis prevention (Safety care).
