Motherhood Unstressed The Importance of Early Intervention in Treating Autism with Heather Grimaldi, MS, BCBA, Mom, Behavior Analyst + Founder of Proof Positive Therapies
Heather Grimaldi, MS, BCBA is the Founder of Proof Positive ABA Therapies, an organization of highly-trained and compassionate specialists who provide treatment based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis, the most widely researched and scientifically validated method known for treating Autism. Armed with empathy, driven by her passion for helping families, and anchored by her own experience as a devoted mother, Heather built Proof Positive ABA Therapies into one of the largest and most respected institutions of its kind.
As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Clinical Director, Heather’s focus was on supporting families and team members tasked with implementing behavior-analytic interventions. Proof Positive ABA Therapies developed individualized treatment plans designed specifically to teach self-help and social skills with a family-focused approach and an emphasis on parent education, distinguishing themselves as trusted and hands-on care providers. In late 2016, the long-running Autism Learning Partners created one of the largest Autism therapy platforms in the U.S. with its acquisition of Proof Positive.
Heather proudly continues her work with families as Clinical Liaison and a Business Development executive with Autism Learning Partners Orange County. Her supplement line, Simple Spectrum, offers the critical nutrition that children on the autism spectrum need.
