Erin became a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) in 2014 after completing her Master’s in ABA, with an Emphasis in Autism. She has been providing high quality ABA services for children with autism and their families as part of their home and school teams for the past ten years. Erin also received formal training in the Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule 2nd Edition (ADOS 2) and the Autism Diagnostic Interview Revised (ADI-R), which helped to improve her expertise in the autism field and further support families navigating new diagnoses. Erin currently holds the position of President for the Alberta Association for Behaviour Analysis and is passionate about assisting with regulation efforts for BCBA’s in Alberta.

One of the first certified Behaviour Analysts in Edmonton, Erin has gained extensive experience disseminating the science of ABA at a time when the science was largely misunderstood. Erin provides a wealth of knowledge in helping families advocate for necessary supports and resources in their schools and communities, and is passionate about teaching parents how to navigate government funding in Alberta. She believes that every child can learn to their fullest potential and live a life free from harmful behaviour that may otherwise hinder an individual’s inclusion, autonomy, and happiness.

 In 2020 Erin founded Catalyst Behaviour Services, the first ABA company of its kind in Edmonton, aiming to increase the prevalence of Family Managed services in the region and make ABA services more accessible. Erin is a strong advocate for trauma informed ABA and has devoted the last few years of her career to improving her clinical practice from this lens. She strives to uphold the values of dignity, respect, and empathy for her clients at all times. As the lead supervisor of all Catalyst Behaviour Consultants, Erin empowers her supervisees to teach from a place of compassion while remaining true to the evidence based and analytic nature of our valuable science.
