Yefry is a bilingual (Spanish-English) Board Certified Behavior Analyst. He holds a Master Degree in Applied Behavior Analysis with a graduate certificate in autism from Ball State University and a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology from University of Maryland (UMGC). Prior to founding Bright Spectrum ABA, Yefry spent nearly thirteen-years working with adults with mental and developmental disabilities. During the last couple of few years, Yefry became very passionate to understand more about autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders in children and adolescents and the evidence-based treatments available today. He began working in a school in special education and in a clinical setting as a behavior technician providing ABA services and early intervention. However, during his graduate program, Yefry worked in the Neurobehavioral Unit at Kennedy Krieger Institute in Baltimore, Maryland where he received an extensive training in the assessment and treatment of severe problem behaviors such as self-injuries, aggression, property destruction, and others. Yefry understands the struggles in many families to have access to ABA services. He is committed to bring his professional background and expertise to serve those families with their children in having a fulfilling life in their communities.
