RBT Clinical Administrator

My name is Jtaijah Akins, and I am currently serving as a Registered Behavior Technician, Clinical Administrator and Trainer here at New Patterns ABA. I began my career in Applied Behavior Analysis after graduating from Virginia Tech in 2021. Since then, I have dedicated myself to this field, working with children ages 1-16 in home, clinic, and school settings. I am currently pursuing my Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis at Mary Baldwin University with the goal of becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). My journey in ABA has been incredibly fulfilling, and I am committed to continuing my professional growth and making a positive impact on the lives of the children and families I work with.
