Interview with Aileen Parker

  • What drove you to the ABA Therapist profession?

I developed a love for ABA while working in a school district. I have always been fascinated with the “why” of behaviors, and working with children is a happy bonus!

  • What advice do you have for prospective Golden Care candidates?

The best advice I have for prospective Golden Care Candidates is to ask questions when necessary. Everyone at Golden Care will be willing to help and offer support! Love what you do. It matters.

  • What have you gained from working at Golden Care?

Working at Golden Care Therapy, I have gained some of the best mentors in my career as an ABA therapist. They have been consistently available to provide guidance and clinical advice, and that makes a huge difference.

  • What’s the best advice you’ve ever been given?

The best advice I was ever given was from my Mom. She told me to find something I love, and in doing so, it would not feel like work.

  • What is your proudest moment at Golden Care/ in your work as an ABA Therapist?

Every time I walk through the door of a home and my client smiles at me, gives me a high five, or the parents tell me about how they have noticed ABA working outside of our sessions; I have a proud moment!

  • What is one thing that you wished people knew about your job?

One thing I wish that people knew about my job is how fulfilling it is, and how we really do make a difference, not just in the lives of our learners, but also their families. We provide therapy, but we are also active teachers
