About

Marietta graduated from the University of Minnesota with a Bachelor of Arts in Child Psychology and Communication Studies in 2004 and with a Master of Education in Special Education in 2011.  She became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2012 and became a Licensed Behavior Analyst in Minnesota and a Licensed Applied Behavior Analyst in Massachusetts in October of 2024.  Marietta has worked with children with autism and other special needs since 2003.

Marietta started her career here at Holland Center!  After working here for a couple of months, Marietta moved to New York in 2004 and began working at the Carbone Clinic, under the direction of Dr. Vince Carbone, Ed.D., BCBA-D, providing one-to-one instruction using the principles and procedures of applied behavior analysis (ABA) and B. F. Skinner’s analysis of verbal behavior (VB). She moved on to lead a classroom of instructors in a clinical setting specializing in the treatment of children with autism.

In 2007, Marietta began providing OutReach consultation services to families, public and private schools, and center-based settings.  She gained experience in providing consultation on the application of behavior analytic principles and procedures to parents and therapists as part of home programs as well as providing consultation to schools.  She assisted teachers in setting up classrooms based upon effective ABA and VB interventions, provided recommendations for goals and objectives, trained teachers and support staff, participated in IEP and due process meetings, and developed behavior plans.

Marietta has also had the luxury of providing these consultation services around the world.  She has provided consultation in more than 12 states and seven countries, including Italy, the Bahamas, and Jordan.  This international experience has allowed her to gain knowledge of and work with educational systems in different countries, implement ABA and VB in various cultures, and work through language barriers with children, parents, and staff.
