Apex ABA Team

Dr. Linda Nguyen

Dr. Linda Nguyen

Linda has been in ABA for fifteen years, and she's seen the field change in ways both encouraging and frustrating. She started as a behavior tech, became a BCBA, and eventually earned her doctorate because she wanted to do this work at the highest level possible. She writes about the science behind ABA, the ethics of good therapy, and why families deserve better than cookie-cutter treatment plans. Linda lives in Ohio with her husband and three kids—and yes, she uses ABA strategies at home. They work.

Jordan Hayes

Jordan Hayes

Jordan's younger sister has autism, and growing up alongside her shaped everything about how he approaches this work. He knows what it's like to be the sibling in the waiting room—the family member who doesn't quite get enough attention, the kid who loves his sister and sometimes resents how much space autism takes up. He writes with empathy for the whole family, not just the child in therapy. His posts cover sibling dynamics, parent burnout, and how to keep a marriage intact when autism is exhausting. Jordan specializes in ABA therapy for adolescents and teens.

Aisha Patel

Aisha Patel

Aisha is the BCBA families call when nothing else has worked. She specializes in complex cases, severe behaviors, and kids who've been through three other providers before landing at Apex. She doesn't sugarcoat the hard parts, and she doesn't promise miracles. But she's consistent, she adjusts, and she gets results. Her blog is for parents in the thick of it—the ones looking for clarity when everything feels stuck.

BCBA, LBA
