About Us
Hi, I’m Ha Thomas, Owner of Orlando, Fl’s Skills Shape ABA
From the bustling heart of Vietnam, my story started as a bright-eyed tutor, beginning my teaching journey at 17. My fervor for education saw me graduating with distinction from the University of Languages and International Studies in Ha Noi. I became a lecturer in college, teaching English, Translation, and Interpretation and mentoring ambitious students for their IELTS and TOEFL exams. For a brief period, I walked in the shoes of a translator and interpreter on scientific, history-related content.
Yet, as enriching as teaching was, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) truly stirred my soul. My first touchpoint with this world was in 2015, within an autism-focused classroom. A year later, my heart drew me to a non-profit agency in San Francisco, focusing on empowering those with Asperger's syndrome with skills for the workforce. Here, the whispers of ABA grew louder, drawing me into its embrace as a behavior technician in 2016.
This step unlocked a world where science danced with art, and scientific theories blossomed into real-life wonders. I've witnessed profound transformations in our clients and caregivers – from once-silent voices rising in conversation, from worried parents to proud parents. ABA is not magic, but rather, it is a testament to unwavering love and commitment. This passion saw me evolve as a program supervisor, guiding caregivers and technicians implementing ABA. This foundation led to my proudest achievement – becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
One thread has remained unbroken throughout my tapestry of experiences: a commitment to authenticity, compassion, sincerity, mindfulness, and kindness. Today, as a dedicated Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), I've experienced the profound ripple effects of ABA across homes, schools, and clinics. My conviction stands strong: equipping caregivers with ABA techniques is transformative. This vision birthed this platform – a sanctuary of ABA insights, enabling caregivers to be their child's guiding light.
If my vision resonates with you and you're ready to unlock the potential of ABA for your child, I extend my hand in partnership. Let us be a team paving a radiant, self-sufficient path for your child's future.
