Rachel Barron has been working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis since 2013 and brings over a decade of experience delivering evidence-based services across residential, home-based, clinic, and school settings. She earned her Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis from Western New England University and holds dual bachelor’s degrees in Psychology and Hispanic Studies from Brandeis University. Rachel has supported individuals ranging from the early intervention age group through young adulthood and is known for her warm, grounded, and collaborative approach with children, families, and interdisciplinary teams.
Rachel was drawn to ANNA’s commitment to Naturalistic Developmental Behavioral Interventions (NDBI), its emphasis on learning through engagement, and its focus on compassionate, child-centered care. These values and priorities align with Rachel’s own belief that a child’s progress is strongest when learning occurs through meaningful connection and engagement.
A passionate and compassionate clinician, Rachel approaches her work with deep respect for each child’s individuality and the unique strengths that every family brings to the table. She and her husband—who also works in the field of ABA—share a genuine dedication to helping people and building supportive, inclusive communities. Outside of work, Rachel loves spending time with her family and her beloved dog, Bamba, who (in her completely unbiased opinion) is the sweetest dog in the world.
