Thomas Low
Consultant Behaviour Analyst. MSc, BCBA, UKBA(cert).
I have worked in the field of ABA since 2015, with learners ranging from young children through to young adults.
I have an undergraduate degree in psychology, where I discovered an interest in teaching and special educational needs. After that I found ABA and began working with children and teenagers with autism. I fell in love with the work, and with watching children acquire skills that are essential for living and learning.
After a year as a tutor I wanted to understand the field properly, so I took a Masters degree in ABA at the Tizard Centre, University of Kent, completing it in 2019. I joined Open Avenues as a supervisor in January 2020, training new tutors and advising parents on teaching and behaviour strategies, and I qualified as a BCBA consultant in 2022.
