About Luis Garcia, RBT

Luis graduated from Florida International University with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis and has been a practicing ABA therapist since 2013. Throughout his practice, he has had the pleasure of working with a wide variety of individuals of all ages and from all walks of life. He believes that our purpose in life is to help those around us, clients and therapists alike, on their journeys towards developing self-confidence, independence, and autonomy while still maintaining a strong connection to the community and family.

 

While working two incredible years abroad in Panama, he spent time volunteering at Fundacion Soy Capaz, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing assistance and resources to families of adults with Autism and Asperger's. There he served as a foreign volunteer supporting autism advocacy by disseminating information regarding Autism and ABA to the community while also supporting the outspoken desires for independence of high-functioning members of the foundation and their families. He would help them plan out and achieve their goals of autonomy while providing ABA teachings to their families and the volunteers of the foundation. His time there forever changed his perceptions on life and now seeks to earn a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling so he can broaden his teachings to be able to work with a more eclectic clientele.
