About Valerie Allison, BCBA, MS

It’s funny how I stumbled into this role!

I thought I was applying for a mental health counselor position, but they were actually hiring for a behavior therapist.

I didn’t know that at the time, so I was a bit confused when I found myself in a center filled with children.

But surprisingly, it felt like home… and didn’t feel like work!

I thought I had botched the interview…

As they were asking me questions, I saw a kid put a toy in his mouth. Without thinking, I asked him to spit it out into my hand.

I thought that was going to cost me the job, but I got hired on the spot!

The first child I worked with was small but full of energy – biting, kicking, pinching – you name it. It wasn’t easy, and I often went home with bruises, but I was determined to teach him to use visuals to ask for his favorite things.

If you choose me…

You’re picking someone who won’t give up on helping your child find their voice.

I love being a part of the reason your child has a way to communicate with you and the world.

I’m honored to have the opportunity to make a difference in their life. It’s more than just a job…

It’s a personal commitment to making a positive impact on your child’s life.
