My name is Candy R. I am a Registered Behavior Technician. I've been in the field since 2015. I hold an A. A. in Psychology and Liberal Arts in Social Behavior Sciences. I am attending school online through Purdue Global finishing my B. S. in Psychology in Applied Behavior Analysis. I anticipate to graduate by May 2023. I've worked professionally for the past 13 years with infants, toddlers, grade schoolers, teenagers, and adults who are neurotypical and neurodivergent. I've held positions such as a babysitter, after school program teacher, paraprofessional, teaching assistant, caregiver, and behavior therapist. I've worked in many environments such as in home, school, clinics, field trips, transition programs, and community outings. With my extensive experience I've acquired throughout my career, I deliver these skills when I look after any child. I adapt easily to any family culture, and I enjoy being able to assist the families I care for by helping to make their lives easier.

    Candy has been with my family since April 2018. She is a kind, loving and a caring person. She not only is my son's ABA therapist, but she also helps with my other children as well. She has now become apart of our family. I know that I can completely trust her with any of my children. She is very patient and knows how to work with children of all ages. I can truly see her passion for working with children when I see her arrive at my home and check in with each one of my children, asking how their day went and making sure they all feel heard. Candy is a wonderful caring person would be a great addition to any family. We will definitely keep her in our family for years to come.
