Meet Marcee

Marcee Brown, MS, BCBA

Board Certified Behavior Analyst

I completed my Bachelor’s of Science in Behavioral Psychology at Western Michigan University (2003). During the completion of my undergraduate education at WMU I elected to participate in a practicum involving the implementation of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) within a public school for children with autism and other developmental delays. Through this experience I saw firsthand how effective ABA is in changing behavior. The realization that treatment can be empowering, optimistic and effective (documented & data driven) sparked a strong love for what I now do.

Upon graduation I began a challenging yet rewarding position with a residential facility in Southwest Michigan responsible for counseling abused, neglected, and emotionally impaired boys and girls ages 8-16 years old. I witnessed and took part in implementing ABA in a completely new environment. I was able to build many relationships with a population that struggles to connect with others and learned the sensitivity, patience, and persistence required to be successful.

After relocating to beautiful Naples, Florida I worked with ABLE Academy for over 7 years as a behavioral therapist. As a case manager, I implemented individual and whole group interventions for children in a classroom setting. I also provided intensive one on one (1:1) instruction and conducted individual and whole group behavior trainings for parents, caregivers and siblings.

While working full time, I completed my Master’s of Science in Counseling Psychology and Advanced Applied Behavior Analysis through Nova Southeastern University (2009) and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (2010). I have experience working with a variety of populations affected by, but not limited to, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Down syndrome, chromosomal disorders, developmental delays and typically developing children ages 18 months-22 years.

I am currently a member of both the Florida Association for Behavior Analysis (FABA) as well as the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA).
