Marquice grew to love home-based ABA and was hungry to grow and learn as much as she could, which led her to apply to Ball State University, where she obtained a master’s degree in applied behavior analysis in 2020.
Marquice’s favorite part of providing ABA therapy, besides pairing with the clients, is working with caregivers on de-escalation strategies during problem behavior. Marquice loves ABA because it allows her to work with caregivers as problems arise, and believes there is value in working with a child in their natural environment at their individual pace.

Ashlee Highley – BCBA
My journey into Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) began when my son, Daymon, was diagnosed with autism at two and a half years old. At the time, in 2009, I was told that if I wanted access to ABA services, I would have to leave the state—there were simply no providers available in Indiana. That moment changed everything for me. If no one else was going to help Daymon, I decided I would do it myself.
At the time, I was an Art major at Ball State University, but my son’s challenges inspired me to change my major to ABA so I could better support him. I started as an unpaid intern in 2009, eager to learn and make a difference. By 2010, I was working as a therapist, gaining hands-on experience in the field. My passion and dedication only grew stronger, leading me to earn my BCaBA in 2015 and, ultimately, my BCBA in 2017.
Looking back, my journey was never just about a career change—it was about advocating for my son and ensuring that he, and others like him, received the support they deserved. Today, I remain deeply committed to empowering individuals with autism and their families, ensuring they have access to the resources and care that once felt out of reach.
