Esther Harris, M.Ed., BCBA

Providing Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) services to families brings me great joy. For the past 12 years I have been providing ABA therapy to children and adults. I was introduced to ABA while working as a paraprofessional at a local preschool. While working with the children, I watched how their growth progressed when consistency and compassion in the application of the programming was applied.

I received my BCaBA certificate in 2012. Working both direct and as a supervisor for eight years, I witnessed growth in all my clients:

  • From not communicating to communicating with others
  • From not aware of their surroundings to joining in and requesting family or peers to join them
  • From intolerance of a peer in the same room to social interactions

These growths were achieved through patience, compassion, communication, and collaboration: All the values I hold strong when implementing ABA programming and supporting families.

In 2020 I furthered my certification to becoming a
Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). This step gave me the opportunity to become part of a community of providers whose support increased my knowledge and my joy of ABA.

I have seven grown children and four beautiful grandchildren. I enjoy my family’s energy and support. The outdoors in all its beauty and wonder give me peace and a little bit of exercise. I enjoy the fine arts and dabble in drawing. I have illustrated two books in the series,
Peebles Beaubian–the Giraffe with Autism.

I look forward to helping your child and your family grow for the success in life.
