Hope in Chaos

I am Sabrina, CEO and Director of ABA at Education Management Group. When I was brought here to build and guide our ABA program, I expected to focus on systems, data, and clinical structure. What I didn’t expect was how clearly I would see the quiet battles families fight — how quickly hope can fade, how deeply pain can take root, and how generational patterns can shape lives in ways we rarely speak about in our field.

In ABA, these conversations are often avoided. They don’t feel “scientific.” They don’t fit neatly into graphs or treatment plans. And yet, these are the realities our families live with every day.

Leaving my previous company was an act of faith — a step toward serving families and caregivers more directly, more compassionately, and more honestly. I never planned to work within another organization, but in this journey I’m learning that leading others also means humbling myself. Teaching others to love and support families well means remembering where I, too, am still growing.

I am deeply rooted in my belief in Jesus Christ. I believe wholeheartedly in the power of our Savior, and I am actively pursuing His healing and deliverance — not just for myself, but for the families we walk beside. ABA provides the tools for accountability, structure, and measurable growth. We use data, principles, and science — but the intention behind it matters. The heart matters.

We can’t control every environment or every circumstance. But we can choose to love people well. We can choose to teach with compassion. We can choose to stand with families who feel unseen or worn down. And in doing so, we’ve watched hope return. We’ve seen breakthroughs. We’ve seen strength rise in places where it once seemed lost.

We’ve also walked with people who feel they have no hope left — and that is exactly why our mission is so important.

We are here to serve this community in a way that is different — humble, compassionate, faith-driven, and unwavering in hope.

This is more than a program. It’s a calling. And we are pursuing it passionately, one family, one caregiver, one story at a time.
