In college, Matt worked with a research project that focused on ABA treatment in skill-building for children on the autism spectrum. After graduating from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, he provided treatment services in rural areas of western Wisconsin. It was here he built an interest in breaking down the barriers of ABA treatment and promoting its practice to schools, homes, and communities to improve the lives of children and families. He works with schools and state agencies to promote proven methods in developing skills for all children with disabilities. He is driven to expand opportunities for all individuals with disabilities, to improve the lives of families and advance the science of ABA treatment.
