Meet Jenni Abdullah, M.Ed., BCBA
Hi there, I'm Jenni Abdullah, the proud founder of Cielo Behavior! As a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with over a decade of experience working in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, I've been fortunate enough to witness the incredible impact that this wonderful science can have on individuals' lives.
I’ve worked with a vast multitude of clients from toddler to adult. I’ve worn many hats in my career and have seen the field from many different angles. I’ve worked at ABA companies both large and small, overseen clinics across Texas, and have seen countless families through the entire therapy process – from diagnosis to discharge.
However, one problem I often couldn’t solve was the limited access to care for certain families: those without an autism diagnosis, individuals deemed “too old” for ABA by their provider or insurance, or even those on a months-long waitlist just to get an evaluation.
This is exactly why I founded Cielo Behavior. The tools of ABA are simply too valuable not to share with the greater community.
My educational background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology from the University of California, Santa Barbara and a Master's in Education from Arizona State University. I will always consider myself a student of behavior analysis, striving constantly to learn and grow as our field evolves.
When I'm not working, you can usually find me spending quality time with my daughter, husband, and two dogs. I am a singer, aspiring guitar player, and avid explorer of Austin’s restaurant scene. I can’t wait to meet you!
