    Natalya has been a BCBA with ICAN Bel-Red since September 2021. Before that she was a behavior technician at our Lakemont location. Natalya discovered the field of ABA back in 2017 and became fascinated with the use of behavioral strategies to teach cognitive, language, social, and self-help skills. She made the decision to return to school for her Master’s Degree in Special Education at the University of Washington and became a BCBA. She has worked with learners ages 18 months to 18 years across all settings. Her primary focus is to identify goals for her clients and their families that will improve quality of life, promote independence, and inspire meaningful engagement with their environments.

    Amanda began her career in ABA in 2022, but her passion for working with children started much earlier. Since 2015, she has been dedicated to child development as a daycare teacher and dance instructor. Before transitioning to ABA, Amanda worked as a User Experience Designer and holds an engineering degree. She was drawn to ABA because it merges her interests in user experience design, special education, and healthcare—allowing her to make a meaningful, direct impact on children and their families. Inspired by her experience as a behavior technician, she pursued a graduate degree in Special Education with a focus on ABA.

    Amanda is committed to a collaborative, holistic approach, working closely with families and interdisciplinary teams to support each child's growth and independence.
