Over the past 10 years Dana has worked in the field of Behavior Analysis. She is currently a BCBA residing in Southern California and has worked in various settings including: school districts, nonpublic agencies and insurance companies coordinating care for members receiving ABA services across California. She has presented at national conferences, such as CAL ABA, where she spoke about insurance-based services and medical necessity criteria within ABA. Dana also has an adult sibling with ASD whom she has helped advocate for insurance-based services into adulthood, job skills training, and regional center based services. Dana’s passion has always been to assist families with children with ASD as well as educating families on additional services that they should also be seeking under various funding avenues. She believes that families and all funding sources should be able to work collaboratively together to obtain the best outcomes for individuals with ASD and other developmental disabilities. Her goal is to continue to bridge the gap between ASD families, ABA providers, and funders by education and research driven decisions.
