  • Quinn

    This quote by Fred Rogers comes to my mind during my work at Gazelle ABA. “Listening and trying to understand the needs of those we would communicate with seems to me to be the essential prerequisite of any real communication. And we might as well aim for real communication. “

  • Sobaan

    Seeing a client finally achieve something we’ve been working on for weeks brings me a type of joy that is incomparable to anything else. Those are the types of things that make me love my job.

  • Hamza

    Our work requires patience. Its a powerful tool that can lead to positive outcomes.

  • Ridwan

    A memorable moment as a behavioral technician was working with a young child who struggled with biting as a way to communicate frustration. After weeks of using alternative communication strategies and positive reinforcement, the child finally expressed her needs with her talker instead of biting, marking a huge breakthrough in her progress!

  • Dima

    One of the best things about working with my clients is seeing them implement the lessons I taught them over time, whether that be with attitude, work, or communication. It’s wonderful to see how ABA and we as therapist make such a positive impact on their lives.

  • Smit

    One thing that I love about working in ABA is that its very inspiring. When you see a client improving in a certain program or activity, it makes me really happy.

  • Simra

    My favorite thing about ABA work is the special bond we build with the clients while offering them the support they need. As behavioral technicians, their wins are our wins and it makes me so happy to witness their growth in real time.

  • Nimra

    Working with Gazelle ABA has been a life changing experience. Seeing the kids smile and laugh, especially during breaks without relying on technology has been so rewarding. Its amazing to witness the joy and connection these moments bring to their lives. I love when a kid has a huge smile on his or her face when I walk through the door.

  • Marietta

    Sometimes we think its what we can teach children, all the while they are continuously teaching us.

  • Ruben

    Being an RBT has allowed me to create meaningful relationships with great kids, clinicians, and families who all the same goal. The goal to give children their voice and advocating for those who can’t always advocate for themselves.

  • Roy

    Watching my clients grow has been the greatest reward. What once caused chaos is now a smooth transition- proof that even in just a month, consistency and care can create real change.
