FOUNDER
Gretel Debasa Marimon
BCBA
Hi, I'm Gretel Debasa Marimon!
I'm a behavior analyst, mom of one and founder of NeuroDverse.
​
When I was first started out my practice, I was not a mom. I thought this would be problematic creating strategies that work for parents and kids, but it was not. Even when I had not the parent experience, I used to be a kid, so I knew how that feel and I took it from there.
​
Since I was a child, I found my passion on communicating with others and understanding the wires that were inside us when behavior shows. The behavior is just the iceberg tip, but since is the visible part, I start working on it for development. My foremost goal is to improve the lifestyle of the children and families I work with by teaching them everyday life skills. I love to train kids reach their full potential and looking always for the child behind the behavior.
​
I'm graduated from Havana University (Cuba) in 2010 with a Bachelor of Sciences in Psychology and completed a master's degree in special educational needs and early care from Valencia International University later on 2020. My experience includes working with children from 2 to 7 years old specialized in children in the autism spectrum and other related disorders since 2016 as my professional practice in the United States. I regularly attends trainings and workshops to maintain current knowledge in the field of parenting, children development and Applied Behavior Analysis.
NeuroDverse
We are a company committed to serve children and their families.
After years of being involved in the ABA field we detected the need of ABA to be more inclusive and get better. We noticed there was a gap of services delivered on kids with developmental delays without a diagnosis and diagnosed kids, even when both need therapy for development, regardless the label. So, we did it! and in 2022 NeuroDverse was born.
​
Our objective is to offer high-quality intervention solutions in a setting that supports and encourages each child's functioning skills. Each child has a unique program targeting their specific needs. We do not focus on the diagnosis but the skills the child needs to boost. Committed to always do the right thing and to achieve extraordinary results for the children and family we serve.
OUR APPROACH
Early intervention with parent involvement
We strongly believe that early intervention is the key for success on a child with developmental needs. As earliest is detected and treated, more chances are to correct the behavior.
On other hand we also think parents take an important part on the treatment, so they have to understand and recognize the problem their child is having and how to address it.
​
Understanding those two key points, we try to put them together and work on both in parallel. We take care of the therapy of the child, but integrating the parent as part of the process to make sure they understand their role and providing them the tools to continue helping the child out of therapy. We also think information is fundamental for parents to identify any sign of developmental delay on their children and act immediately contacting people that can guide them on the right path.
