Eden Green, M.S., BCBA
I am from Orlando Florida and currently living in Pensacola Florida, due to my husband being in the Navy. I have 2 young children, a 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son. My work in ABA began in 2017 as an RBT and quickly grew into my passion and career in which I received my Masters Degree from Capella University. I have worked with a wide range of ages from 2 to 21 years old and in a variety of settings such as schools, homes and clinics.
