Kristi Rowley
Education & Qualifications
In my 12 years within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I have grown from a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I spent a decade, to an intern, and most recently, achieved my certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) in October 2023. This journey has been marked by continuous learning and hands-on experience, allowing me to refine my skills and deepen my understanding of ABA practices.
The Best Part of My Job
The best part of my job is undoubtedly the time I spend working with children—witnessing their resilience, intelligence, and capabilities. It’s profoundly rewarding to see them conquer a challenging skill or make noticeable progress, their faces lighting up with joy and pride.
Over my career, I’ve formed deep connections with the families I work with, like the six years I spent with one family helping their two children with ASD.
The moment one of those children, who is mostly non-verbal, excitedly stimmed upon seeing me after years and then clearly expressed, “I miss you, Kristi!” is a cherished memory. It showed me the profound impact of our bond and the deep emotional connections that our work nurtures, making every challenge along the way incredibly worthwhile.
What I Like Best About Working at Rogue
What I love most about working at Rogue is the opportunity to build a unified team right in our clients’ homes. This approach allows everyone involved to actively participate, which is crucial in ABA for the generalization of skills. It’s incredibly rewarding to see everyone coming together, playing a role in our clients’ development and success.
