Real Work. Real Impact.

Meet Tori R., RBT

When Tori first started looking into ABA, she admits she didn’t know much about the field. Having a brother with autism made her want to better understand what support and resources were available for families, which eventually led her to becoming an RBT.

Now, she’s found a passion in working with children and helping them grow every day.

One moment she says will always stick with her was watching her first client graduate from ABA services. While it was emotional to say goodbye, it was also the moment she realized just how meaningful this work really is.

“ABA was simply a stepping stone to this kid’s whole future. I love knowing that the work I do helps build a foundation for children’s entire lives.”

Tori says becoming an RBT helped shape her future in ways she never expected. What started as uncertainty turned into a passion for helping children learn, grow, and succeed. She is now pursuing early childhood education and hopes to continue working with young children for years to come.

Her advice for anyone thinking about becoming an RBT?

“Just do it. Don’t let being nervous or inexperienced stop you. You’ll be trained and supported, and you truly have the opportunity to impact lives here.”

Reinforcement is one of the most important parts of what we do. In simple terms, reinforcement means that when a behavior is followed by something meaningful to the learner, that behavior is more likely to happen again. It’s how skills stick, grow, and become part of everyday life.

Today we saw that in action. One of our clients made big progress on a goal that has been challenging for them. To celebrate meeting that target, they earned a pretty fun reinforcer, getting to throw water balloons at our COO, Ryan.

Even better, the client wanted the whole clinic to be part of it. Staff and peers came outside or watched from the windows to cheer as each balloon was thrown.

Moments like this matter. When hard work leads to something motivating, it builds momentum and confidence.

No matter our role, we all show up to support our clients and celebrate their wins!
