Key Pieces Therapy Staff

BCBA - Board Certified Behavior Analyst

A board-certified behavior analyst (BCBA) provides ABA therapy services. To become a BCBA, the following is needed:

  •     Earn a master’s degree or PhD in psychology or behavior analysis

  •     Pass a national certification exam

  •     Seek a state license to practice (in some states)

 

ABA therapy programs also involve therapists, or registered behavior technicians (RBTs). These therapists are trained and supervised by the BCBA. They work directly with children and adults with autism to practice skills and work toward the individual goals written by the BCBA. You may hear them referred to by a few different names: behavioral therapists, line therapists, behavior tech, etc.

SLP - Speech Language Pathologist

Speech-language pathologists (SLPs) are licensed healthcare professionals who diagnose and treat communication, speech, language, and swallowing disorders

To become a Board Certified and Licensed SLP they require a master’s degree, passing the Praxis exam, and clinical fellowship, often with ASHA certification.

 For children with autism, SLPs specialize work closely collaborating with the BCBAs improving social communication, verbal/nonverbal skills, reducing frustration, and enhancing functional, independent interaction.

Key Pieces Therapy is honored to have some of the absolute best BCBAs and SLPs to provide collaborative care for our clients

Administrative Team

Ashley Brock

Owner, CEO

Ashley Brock has spent nearly two decades building a career at the intersection of business, healthcare, and compassion for others. With a natural ability for business operations and accounting, she began her career in office management within a healthcare practice over 18 years ago. It was there that she quickly stepped into leadership, mastering the complexities of health insurance, claims billing, and medical office operations.

In 2012, Ashley transitioned into the behavioral health industry and founded a Revenue Cycle Management company serving behavioral health hospitals and clinics. Through that work, she was introduced to the world of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, where she witnessed firsthand the life-changing impact it had on children and the hope it brought to families.

Inspired by the results and the people behind the work, Ashley began helping organizations build and grow their ABA therapy programs. Her vision eventually expanded beyond consulting. She wanted to create an environment where not only clients could thrive, but where the dedicated professionals who provide ABA therapy would feel valued, supported, and empowered to live out their calling.

She discovered a passion for the human resources side of the clinic and enjoys helping team members develop and succeed. She is grateful for the many opportunities Key Pieces has provided and loves spending time in the clinic seeing the children’s smiling faces.
