About Meka

Meka began in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis in 2007 when she had the pleasure of meeting a family who had a sweet, young boy  diagnosed with Autism.

 

Upon observing the young boy's ABA therapy program she was immediately captivated by Applied Behavior Analysis. She committed to working 1:1 with him  for several hours a week  under the direct supervision of a BCBA. As Meka continued to work with the little boy, her desire to educate herself in the field grew.
