Ronni Clark, Founder, Independence ABA Therapy

About The Founder

Our founder, Ronni Clark, began working with young learners in 2001, in an ‘Autism Impaired Preschool’ program through Western Michigan University in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Amidst her educational experience, Ronni was able to gain a deeper understanding of how ABA therapy benefits young learners with developmental disabilities and why this method successfully instills positive behavior patterns. She made the decision, right then and there that this was her true calling and after graduation, continued her work in Southern California for Applied Behavior Consultants. During her time at ABC, Ronni completed comprehensive training in ABA therapy and went forward to work with numerous reputable companies before becoming a traveling supervisor, overseeing operations in Texas, Washington and Colorado. After relocating to Colorado Springs, Ronni became an independent contractor, working with Creative Kids and Behavior and Learning Group, and connecting with other like-minded BCBAs in the greater Colorado Springs area. Ronni opened her own business, Independence ABA Therapy, LLC, in 2020, with the hopes to create a broader community of support for families in need through her thoughtfully curated ABA services.

“I have had the pleasure of working alongside Ronni Clark for 5 years and under her for 1 year. Ronni is very caring, understanding, professional, and thorough. I have seen the wonders of ABA under her direction and have seen children absolutely blossom when working with her. We have worked together with a variety of ages, clients, and situations and I always look forward to the new knowledge and experience that I gain from her. She has assisted me in my training, supervision, and many aspects of work from the beginning. She never hesitates to look for more information and learn more about a situation. Ronni is a great boss and coworker to have and I have truly enjoyed working with her over the years.” - Eva
