About Yuri Rivera, M.A, BCBA, LBA-TX
I was born in El Salvador, and moved to the U.S. when I was 15 years old. After high school, I attended a community college and transferred to a university near home.
My dream was to become an occupational therapist, but I did not get into grad school. I started working in a TBI clinic, gained more experience in OT and PT, then left the job to work at Brain Balance. My coworkers there talked to me about ABA. Then I got a job as a behavior technician at the end of 2017, and I have been in the field since then.
I am the oldest of 4 siblings, I like to travel. I am a picky eater, but I am working on expanding my repertoire.
