Our Team
At Patricia Munoz Behavioral and Research Center, we have a highly qualified team of experienced professionals who are passionate about what they do. Our behavior analysts, therapists, supervisors, and researchers work collaboratively to provide excellent services, always guided by science and international best practices in ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis). Each member of our team undergoes ongoing training, supervision, and refresher training, ensuring our clients receive the most modern and effective care available. More than titles and certifications, we believe in human commitment: welcoming families, respecting individuality, and promoting meaningful progress in the lives of the children and adolescents we serve.
Our uniqueness lies in the combination of clinical expertise, personal dedication, and scientific innovation, which allows us to offer not only high-quality interventions but also a supportive and trusting space for the entire family.

Team of Technicians
Our RBTs, ABATs, and Behavior Technicians are enthusiastic, caring, and committed professionals dedicated to helping each child reach their full potential. They bring energy and dedication to every session, applying the science of ABA to support the development of learning, communication, and independence, always under the direct supervision of a licensed Behavior Analyst.
Families often tell us that our technicians become an essential part of their therapeutic journey, and we believe that too. More than a team, we are a supportive community that walks alongside each family through every achievement.
