About Us

When Jennifer Bogin met her first child with autism she knew he was truly special.  “Mitchell” was a sweet engaging five-year-old boy with a full head of red hair and a love for all things Disney.  Jennifer quickly began learning from Mitchell and exploring the ways to teach him and connect with him.  That was the beginning of what would become a career path and personal journey throughout Jennifer’s life.

Throughout high school and college, Jennifer worked with many more children and learned about child psychology, special education and behavioral studies. In 1998, Jennifer met and began working with another little boy named Edward. Initially non-verbal, Edward had an amazing smile and a great laugh. He enjoyed swinging and playing with sand, water and anything with wheels. In the course of Edward's treatment, Jennifer was introduced to Applied Behavior Analysis and the use of Discrete Trial Training for teaching skills to young children with autism. 

While Jennifer appreciated the progress Edward made with this approach, she also felt somewhat limited by the strict interpretations of ABA from the supervisor.  She decided it was time to learn more! After moving to Western Massachusetts and completing a Master’s Degree in Behavioral Education from Simmons College, Jennifer became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and went into private practice working with children, adults, families, agencies and schools throughout Massachusetts as an autism and behavior specialist.
