After one year of teaching, Callie realized her passion was working with those with special needs.  The following year, 2010, Callie began working as a Behavior Technician in Cincinnati.

Why ABA?

Callie has worked and seen the results of ABA first hand as an entry level technician and now a Board Certified Behavior Analyst!  She reports that some of her favorite moments as a practitioner are hearing first words and first time saying, "I love you" to parents.  She readily invests time with technicians for training, provides guidance to parents in a way that is practical for them, makes learning as fun as possible, and is looking to constantly be growing as a professional.  

A message from Callie...

I am a boy mom, mother to a girl with special needs, dog mom, and wife.  I know first hand how hard finding good services can be and how difficult it can be to know how to advocate for your child. I found myself on many occasions wondering how parents advocate for their children when they do not work in the field of special needs. PATH was started to help families, aide in easing their worries about the future, and educate families on how to advocate for their own children.  I know that the best learning takes place when motivation is present so I strive to make learning fun! Know that I am in your child's corner and will help you navigate through the unknown that Autism can be.   I cannot wait to get to know you and your family on this PATH!!!
