My name is Maya Vinogradov, and I am the founder of MV ABA SERVICES LTD. My journey in the field of Autism started in 2005 when a friend asked me to apply for a job in a specialized school in the Toronto area. While working at the school with kids on the autism spectrum I realized how special and important it is to create meaningful connections while teaching functional skills.
I am a registered BCBA in the province of British Columbia, Canada.
My interest in Autism and ABA has emerged and been reinforced throughout my educational and work experiences. I graduated from York University with an Honours BA in Psychology, and since 2005 have been working with children and youth with special needs. I have been teaching children with special needs academic, social, play and self help skills through the principles of ABA since my first year out of university. Throughout my career I have worked in specialized schools, residential settings, public schools, pre-schools and homes with a great variety of individuals and supervisors. My profession gives me a great deal of satisfaction and at the same time makes me more passionate about future possibilities.
In 2020 I received my Master of Professional Development in Applied Behavior Analysis from Western University in Ontario, Canada. As part of my studies, I learned to assess behaviour, conduct FBA’s, analyze articles, think critically and ethically about various issues pertaining to clients and students, and graph and analyze data using a multitude of approaches.
