About Fragile X Life

The Fragile X Story

My name is Timmy and I am based out of Georgia. I have been providing ABA therapy to clients with various diagnoses including autism, Down Syndrome, Fragile X, etc., for individuals between the ages of 18 months to 24 years old since 2013. I was introduced to ABA in 2008 when both of my sons were diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome. After completing my family genealogy tree and blood test for the Geneticist, I learned that I too have Fragile X Syndrome. During the first two years of my son’s ABA therapy, I was amazed at their progress which caused me to have total buy-in in ABA therapy services! I have observed experienced RBTs and BCBAs oversee my son’s treatment and I became a BCBA to continue to help my sons and others reach their potential. My goal is to provide experience, compassionate and empathetic
ABA Therapy that meets parents where they are in acceptance of their child’s diagnosis.
