About Aleksandra Fentress

Aleksandra’s journey in ABA began with a deep-seated commitment to making a difference. She is passionate about providing exceptional care and support to individuals diagnosed with Autism and Related Disorders. As a first-generation immigrant, she has navigated numerous and various opportunities that have shaped her work ethic and approach to therapy. Her personal experience as a mother to three wonderful boys with autism has enriched her understanding and empathy. This dual perspective—both as a clinician and a parent—drives her approach to therapy, ensuring that interventions are effective, empathetic and individualized.
