Project Title: The Importance of Parent Education on ABA for Autism Spectrum Disorder
Pham Tuyen, M.S., QBA, is a PhD candidate at RMIT University and the founder of an ABA center in Vietnam. She holds a Master’s degree in Applied Behavior Analysis from the Florida Institute of Technology and has been working with children with autism and developmental disabilities since 2018, with a primary focus on early intervention and child-centered practices. Tuyen believes that meaningful progress for each child happens when we empower not just the child, but also parents, educators, and caregivers. She is deeply committed to advocating for the child’s best interests and delivering individualized, naturalistic, and culturally responsive supports that help each child reach their full potential.
To ensure the project’s quality, consistency, and cross-setting effectiveness, Tuyen has invited a team of trusted colleagues with complementary international expertise:
