Ian’s plans to become a pilot changed after a vision impairment led him to discover ABA by chance. Mindy made a meaningful career shift from math to ABA, driven by a desire to make a real impact. Sean’s path was deeply personal, inspired by his brother’s autism diagnosis and a strong commitment to help others through ABA.
Their stories reveal the unique “why” behind each career and highlight the diverse experiences that fuel the passion and purpose in ABA. Whether you’re new to ABA or a seasoned professional, tune in to explore the story behind the why.
