It’s an extraordinary opportunity for professionals in the field of behavior analysis.”

Dr. Nepo has worked in the field of behavior analysis for over 20 years as a therapist, consultant, researcher, and university faculty member.

“I am thrilled to be working with such a distinguished team of professionals across disciplines who assess concerns from both medical and behavioral perspectives. I look forward to working with this team to provide precise diagnostics and targeted treatments for those we serve,” says Dr. Nepo. “This model of care is certain to contribute to increased independence and positive clinical outcomes for the children in our ABA program and beyond.”
