Waynetown

Ember Shepherd, MA, BCBA

Program Manager

I hold a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Southern Indiana and a Master’s degree from Ball State University, where I also earned graduate certificates in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). Since 2015, I have been dedicated to the field of ABA and was proud to be one of the first Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs) in Montgomery County.

My professional passion lies in supporting self-advocacy and empowering families through meaningful parent training. I believe in fostering independence while honoring each child’s unique identity and strengths.

Outside of work, I enjoy photography, gardening, and spending quality time with my husband and our two daughters. It’s a joy to walk alongside children and families as they grow, learn, and thrive.
