“The biggest thing about completing my practicum at Healing Haven would have to be the rotation of roles such as being in billing, training, and running groups as these roles were not offered at my previous company. Having experience in multiple areas, I felt that this assisted with my overall growth and development as a future BCBA with practice in writing goals/reports, providing feedback, and training technicians.” – Danielle, Healing Haven Student Analyst, now BCBA and Practicum Supervisor
“I truly wouldn’t want to be a BCBA anywhere else. Even when I was struggling to pass the hardest exam of my life, I had so many of my colleagues on my side giving me continuous support and encouragement to keep going.” – Melissa, Healing Haven Student Analyst, now BCBA
