Find Your People (with Emily Wilson) - Ep77
Who are you outside of your job? What kinds of hobbies and interests do you engage in to maintain work life balance? During today’s meal - I speak with a behavior analyst about the realities of owning a business, finding your people, not volunteering your time to do unpaid labor, and I learned a new food local to southeastern Virginia. — Emily Wilson , MA, BCBA, LBA Emily stumbled into this field in 2012 and has been committed to the kind of self-improvement that translates to sustainable community support ever since. She was instrumental in the formation of the Virginia Association for Behavior Analysis regional Special Interest Groups, because there is no true substitute for face-to-face professional collaboration. Emily co-founded Blossom Behavioral Services in 2018 with a mission to apply the science of behavior to facilitate meaningful change that improves lives. All these years later, Emily continues to strive toward that goal by emphasizing individualized compassionate care with her client families. In an effort to align values and practice, Emily has been intentional about her post certification training and experience. Her practice emphasizes a trauma-informed approach, relying on assent-based instruction. She began to dabble in Precision Teaching in 2019 and is now a dedicated charter. Emily also has a background in early childhood development, specifically ages 0-3. She has been supporting families of babies and toddlers exhibiting developmental delays since 2020. — Follow Emily!
