Testimonies
I have known Christopher for 15 years in his role as a classroom-based ABA therapist. He develops rapport quickly with clients from all backgrounds. Christopher excels in Natural Environment Teaching (NET), contriving motivation and group learning environments. He quickly finds a way to connect with clients, caregivers and staff with humour and shared interests. Christopher's charisma and fun-loving nature make him a clear favourite amongst his clients. They ask for him by name. Christopher achieves results for his clients, he creates an optimistic, inclusive group learning
environment for clients to shine.

“A message from A.B.’s mom that I received this morning.
And today, there was nothing short of a miracle at home! I want to thank Mr. Williams for it and the whole team. A.B woke up by himself, dressed himself, made up his snacks, had breakfast and waited for the cab by himself outside!!! I am beside myself with joy!!!

I wanted to thank you for your dedication and efforts made with MH. I am amazed at how well he is able to regulate. His caring and empathetic nature shine through. I know this is largely because of the work you have done with him. I am excited to watch him grow and learn over the next year.

I have known Chris Williams since September 2015, when he began working under my supervision as a therapist conducting ABA/IBI therapy with local families. Chris has worked with a diverse set of clients and quickly proved himself to be an exceptional therapist. Chris is an enthusiastic, caring and competent therapist, who I recommended to work with several families. Chris is considered one of my top therapists that I have ever worked with.
Chris has worked with a number of developmentally delayed children with behavioural challenges. Chris is very competent and remains calm even in the most stressful of situations. He is able to sit back and calmly evaluate the situation and apply a strategy with very little stress. Many therapists have difficulty thinking on their feet and are unable to handle new behavioural challenges, but Chris thrives in this type of situation.
Chris has been able to facilitate many children's ability to learn at school and to develop social skills as well as to mitigate someof the early forms of aggressive behaviors. This is a difficult field to work within, but Chris has always displayed a high degree of integrity, responsibility and ambition.
In sum, Chris has proven to be a dedicated clinician and is able to work independently and is able to evaluate situations and come up with great strategies.
Sincerely,
Dr. Karen Neary,
