Prescribing Gratitude: Saluting Our Dedicated Doctors

Cristal Vargas is a seasoned professional with extensive experience in special education and behavior analysis. She holds a Master's degree in Special Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis and has been working with children with special needs since 2011. Her passion for this field is deeply personal, rooted in her own experience as a parent who faced the frustration, pain, and heartache of watching her child struggle with high maladaptive behaviors in every setting. Through perseverance and dedication, Cristal helped her child, who is now thriving and able to perform independently at the age of 12.

Cristal began her professional career as a Behavior Technician in a clinic-based setting, where she quickly excelled and was promoted to a supervisory role in a span of less than 90 days. In this position, she oversaw therapists and conducted adaptive behavior assessments, working with diverse challenges. Her expertise expanded as she worked in urban communities, taking on greater responsibilities and serving a wide-range of families and youth.

Over the course of her career, Cristal has worked with more than 200 families, including those in the Adult division, leading to successful implementations of behavior analysis. Cristal is particularly committed to helping children who have been rejected by the ABA provider establishment of norm. Cristal used this opportunity to draw from her personal journey to advocate and support families in need.

Cristal's work is driven by a profound understanding pf both the emotional and practical challenges that families face, and she is dedicated to using her personal experience and professional expertise to create positive change for others.
