Nataly has been working with children with autism and their families since 2012. Her research interests are in providing evidence based interventions to children with autism from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds and she has published a number of peer-reviewed articles in this area. Nataly’s approach to ABA therapy is family-centered. She believes that treatment protocols should be acceptable to parents and feasible in the home
environment to produce lasting behavioral changes. For this reason, she is passionate about collaborating with caregivers.
