How often do you slow down?

What would it be like to pause and connect before interacting?

During today’s meal- I speak with a phenomenal woman about career choices, getting into ABA, parenting neurodivergent children, learning and healing from generational trauma, and ADHD projects like making chili oil from scratch.

About Jenny Lai, BCBA

Hi, I'm Jenny Lai. I'm a mom to 2 autistic children and also a BCBA. I've been in the field for 7 years. I'm also the co-host of a podcast called Not a Tiger Mom with my friend Bettina who is an SLP, where we talk about parenting, autism, and breaking old-school parenting habits in Asian families. I care a lot about helping families feel supported and seen. I currently work once a week for an ABA company and I own a private practice.

When I am not doing ABA things, I am spending time with my family and friends, working out, and getting into cooking (juicing, protein bars, chili oil).

How often do you consider what your clients have taught you?

Do you think about the therapeutic relationships you build?

Did you grapple with imposter syndrome when you first started out?

How often were you afraid to ask for help?

During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst, business owner, and fellow PLC member about getting started in the field, the driving force behind starting a company, and the unique challenges for her Spanish-speaking families.

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.
