Veronica Dunning, BCBA, UKBA, CEO & Clinical Director
Supporting services in South Wales, Exeter, Dorset, Berkshire and London areas
Details
I am a bilingual Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and a Qualified Behaviour Analyst (QBA). I first started my career as a Teacher of English as a Foreign Language in Brazil in 1995. I started in the field of ABA in 2012, personally supporting my autistic son and I completed the Behaviour Analysis and Therapy Masters with the University of South Wales in 2016.
I have training and extensive experience implementing a wide range of behaviour analytical assessment tools and curricula including the VB-MAPP (Sundberg, 2008), AFLS (Partington & Mueller, 2012), IGLR (Ward, 2013), EFL (McGrieve, 2012), PEAK (Dixon, 2018), AIM (Dixon & Paliliunas, 2018) and running Dr. Greg Hanley's evidence based Practical Functional Assessment and IISCA. I am also trained in Talk Toolsⓒ at level 2.
In my role as a BCBA, I also support Blossom ABA Limited Families in obtaining funding for ABA services which includes contributing towards the drafting of Education, Health and Care Plans (EHCP-England) and Statement of Special Needs or Individual Development Plans (Wales).
Alongside my personal, professional and behaviour analytical experience, I value working as part of a multidisciplinary team, taking into account people's different backgrounds, needs and culture. I am a mindfulness and Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) practitioner. I also have experience managing, training staff and teams, running events and supervising ABA teams and practitioners locally and internationally. I have also been actively involved in supporting families and disseminating the science of behaviour analysis over the years.
As part of a company that has established mission and values, we seek to work with a like minded team, and each member of our team is an essential part of our company.
