Growing Emerging Minds for Success

 Hello! My name is Joslin, and I’m the proud founder and Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) here at G.E.M.S. With over 10 years of experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I’ve had the privilege of working with individuals across a variety of settings, from clinics to homes, schools, and community environments. For the past 6 years, I’ve been a BCBA, helping individuals with autism spectrum disorder and other comorbid diagnoses such as ADHD, OCD, Prader-Willi Syndrome, Down Syndrome, and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome reach their full potential.

Originally from Massachusetts and raised in Upstate New York, I spent many years in Florida before relocating to Concord to be closer to my family after welcoming my daughter in 2021. As a mother, I understand the importance of fostering growth, development, and independence in children, both in their personal lives and in their environments. This understanding drives my passion for working with families and children, helping them thrive in their everyday settings.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked with children and adolescents ranging from 2 to 19 years old. I’ve had the opportunity to hold a variety of roles, including PreK Teacher, Registered Behavior Technician, Clinical Manager and Trainer, Human Resources Recruiting Manager, and Clinical Director. Each role has given me unique insights into the needs of children and families, and I’ve witnessed firsthand the powerful impact that compassionate, individualized ABA services can have on a child’s development.

I truly believe that every child has unlimited potential, and with the right support, they can succeed and flourish. My mission is to provide the most effective and compassionate services to help children navigate their environments and build the skills they need to succeed.

I’m excited to partner with you and your family on this journey, and I’m committed to supporting your child’s growth, one step at a time.

Warmly,
Joslin Aristy
