Yaniz has a passion for improving access to behavior analytic services for underserved populations through novel models such as telehealth and through consideration of cultural variables within assessment and treatment. One of her life’s missions has been to bridge the service gap in the area of ABA for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in Puerto Rico.
 






Yaniz has received training at the University of Iowa and the Kennedy Krieger Institute/Johns Hopkins University’s Neurobehavioral Outpatient Unit. She has practiced at the Virginia Institute of Autism’s outpatient behavioral services and Seattle Children’s Hospital Biobehavioral Program and Pediatric Feeding Program.

Episode 153 features a conversation with the intervening President Denisha Gingles, and Vice-President Cammie Williams of the Black Applied Behavior Analysts, Inc. which paused operations in July 2023 following two unfortunate situations that occurred at our 2023 conference in Detroit: a physical and verbal attack, as well as homophobic statements made from one of their members to another.  Among other things, these incidents exposed how far BABA had drifted from its founding purpose: the uplift of the entire Black community in the behavior analytic space.  In this episode, Denisha and Cammie outline the history of BABA from its beginnings and their path toward transformative healing. As well they share exciting news about their upcoming mini-conference, BLACK CON!  
Stay tuned to the Behaviour Speak Podcast over the next few months as we share mini-episodes highlighting some of the positive experiences of attendees at the 2023 conference.
