ABA Therapists

Dominic is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), and he is currently pursuing his Doctorate in Applied Behavior Analysis (Ph.D).

After graduating from his undergraduate studies, Dominic found an interest in Counselling, and hence pursued the Master of Guidance and Counselling while working with individuals with special needs. Shortly after, he found interest in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and obtained the Master of Education in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis.

Dominic has 7 years of experience working with individuals with special needs from ages 2 to 21, in both one-to-one setting clinic-based and home-based as well as in group settings. He specializes in administering procedures such as Teaching Interactions to work with individuals who require assistance in building basic and advanced social skills. He also worked with many local schools in Singapore to run social skills workshops. Besides working with the individual, Dominic has done parent trainings, staff trainings and giving awareness talks to the members of public.

Dominic’s personal belief is that the key role of being an interventionist does not lie with just the relationship between individual and the therapist, it is a commitment to the family from a holistic approach. The individual’s progress and growth are a combination of all environmental factors including family welfare, family stress levels etc. Hence, Dominic believes committing towards a multidisciplinary model of intervention where the whole family is under the care of many specialists.

To understand families with individuals with special needs, Dominic has also attended a Non-Profit Director course in the Singapore Institute of Directors (SID).
