Cristina Vanarsdall, BCBA

Cristina was a special education teacher and autism specialist prior to making the transition to her secondary master’s degree in applied behavior analysis and autism. She did this to peruse a dream she had prior to teaching, with her bachelors from the University of North Texas in ABA. She came to Rose Street Spectrum in 2015 as an evening social group educator, and the following summer a camp counselor. This was the final push she needed to leave the public school system and go in a 1:1 setting for children with ASD. She began as full time RBT/Intern to receive supervision, then BCaBA, and finally a BCBA. She is married to her husband of 17 years and has 4 children, her oldest daughter, who is now a teen is on the spectrum and she wanted to truly understand and support her needs. Her hobbies include traveling, family activities, reading, and yoga. Since her oldest daughter benefited from ABA and Special Education services, it helped grow her passion for ABA and advocate for autism awareness. “It is a privilege to work with your children. ABA is an amazing tool for one’s perspective and navigating society, while maintaining their personalities, and unique contributions, through teaching us to see the world in the most unique way as well.” -Cristina Vanarsdall M Ed. Autism, BCBA

He quickly began his graduate level courses and graduated with his Master of Professional Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology in August of 2020. Gage then took and passed his BCBA exam in September of 2020.

“I joined the field of ABA because I started volunteering at Spectrum, and I knew that this was what I wanted to do with my life. I enjoy it today because I value developing meaningful relationships with our kids and being a part of their life-changing growth.”

D.D. graduated from Midwestern State University with her master’s degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology in 2012 where she focused on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with adults and children. She went on to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Peru for 27 months. Upon returning to the states, D.D. continued her career in psychology, serving adults with psychoses through group and individual therapies.

D.D.’s Applied Behavior Analysis journey began in 2017 when given the opportunity to work with a BCBA for an adult with severe self-injurious behavior and aggression. After an almost instant decrease in those behaviors after ABA intervention, D.D. was sold and went back to school. She earned her BCBA in 2020 after completing coursework at Florida Institute of Technology.

Since working at Rose Street Spectrum, D.D. has focused on building socially significant skills that are important to her clients and their families. “There is no greater joy for me than watching kiddos obtain skills that were once thought unattainable. I feel so honored to be working in a field that teaches ‘nonverbal’ children to communicate and operate independently.” Her other passion is disseminating ABA practices by fieldwork training future BCBAs and BCaBAs.

Teena graduated with a Master of Science in Psychology and a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis in 2020 from Capella University.

Teena took the road less traveled in finding her niche in the world. In 2016, she was hired as a paraprofessional in a self-contained autism classroom in the public education system. Despite going in blindly, she quickly fell in love with the kids and the job.

“I knew from an early age that I wanted to work with children. I did not know in what capacity, and the road I took to get here was a little different, but I am where I have always wanted to be. In the school district I collaborated with an amazing teacher who encouraged me to expand my knowledge and move to Spectrum. She changed my life.”

In 2018, Teena became an employee of Rose Street Spectrum where she worked as an RBT for three years while pursuing her master’s degree and completing her hours. She has been a licensed BCBA since 2021.
