Meet Our Writers

The clinicians behind every post — sharing what they know from years on the floor, in homes, and in classrooms.

Sarah Mitchell, MS, BCBA

Sarah Mitchell

MS, BCBA

Sarah got into ABA because her nephew was diagnosed with autism when she was in college. She watched her sister navigate waitlists, insurance denials, and therapists who didn't show up — and decided to build her career around being the kind of provider families can actually count on. She's been a BCBA for seven years, specializing in early intervention and parent training. Her posts answer the questions parents are actually asking, without the jargon. Sarah lives in New Jersey with her two dogs and a coffee habit her coworkers find concerning.

Marcus Thompson, BCBA, LBA

Marcus Thompson

BCBA, LBA

Marcus spent five years as an RBT before becoming a BCBA, so he knows what ABA therapy looks like from the ground up. He's run thousands of sessions, weathered every kind of meltdown, and celebrated breakthroughs that took months to earn. He writes about the real, messy, rewarding work of therapy: what actually happens in a session, why progress isn't linear, and how to tell if it's working. Marcus specializes in school-based therapy and behavior intervention, and he's never met a data sheet he didn't love.

Her posts are practical, clear, and full of the kind of insight you only get from doing this work daily. Emily is bilingual in English and Spanish and is currently completing her BCBA certification.
