Thank you for stopping by AppleTree Connection! Our founder, Tara Zeller, MS, BCBA, is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over twenty years experience working as a practitioner of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Her portfolio of roles includes: individual client provider (for children of all ability levels), quality staff trainer, parent trainer, author, conference presenter, career panel pr
esenter and curriculum & instructional designer. Tara created AppleTree Connection after many years of working for a number of companies. They were just not providing the kind of services she wished to provide. The feeling of wanting to make a greater impact kept gnawing at her. So, she followed her passion and struck out on her own. Tara utilizes her knowledge and skills from the science of Behavior Analysis to help grow the field through mentoring and training of current and future practitioners. Her motto is, “Work with 1 client, help 1 client. Train practitioners, exponentially increase the number of clients helped!”
AppleTree Connection is proud to be the premier career development and placement organization for RBTs (and soon: BCBAs). Through our RBT ACADEMY, we shape The New RBT - compassionate, ethical providers who put their client first and utilize the principles of ABA to facilitate long-lasting and meaningful change. We help place our graduates through our nationwide Employer Partner Network, so they can begin to make their impact immediately. If there’s a question we can answer for you or can help in any way, please do not hesitate to contact us!
