Daniela Schmeichler
MS in Counseling, Board Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA)
MY APPROACH IS DIFFERENT FROM OTHER ABA THERAPY PROVIDERS :
​
-
From my viewpoint, the significance of a diagnosis should not diminish the importance of timely intervention when observable behaviors of concern emerge.
​
-
I maintain direct engagement with my clients, offering comprehensive and personalized interventions. Each session is meticulously tailored to meet their specific needs, with the primary objective of achieving optimal outcomes.
​
-
I focus on empowering parents to continue applying the lessons learned during my sessions, rather than training behavioral assistants to implement them.
​
-
I believe that the quality of the intervention is more valuable than hours of weekly therapy sessions.
​
-
I supplement my therapeutic sessions with tools from many disciplines and I believe in providing hands-on care with a naturalistic approach. My behavioral training does not substitute my psychology background but complements each other.
​
My mission is to help parents, teachers, and children to enjoy playing and spending time together, decreasing, preventing, and overcoming the behavioral and emotional challenges that are natural during children’s upbringing.
​
Founder of Motiva Learning and known by many as the Behavioral Analyst with a unique and holistic approach to early intervention and counseling children and families.
​
Numerous families in South Florida have benefited from my services. I have provided valuable assistance to neurotypical children facing emotional, behavioral, and academic difficulties but also to children diagnosed with conditions like ADHD, Autism, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, and various others.
​
I was born in Venezuela, lived in Israel for several years, and moved to the United States in 2003 before making South Florida my home. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s in Counseling with a concentration in Behavioral Analysis. Early in my journey as a parent, I pursued credentialing as a Board‑Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) while working as an Infant Toddler Development Specialist (ITDS) and completing my graduate studies — a time full of challenges and growth as I pursued multiple dreams in a new country.
​
From a young age, I’ve always connected with children and I was often the person friends turned to for support. That natural affinity for connection is still reflected in my work today.
​
I feel truly fortunate to do work I love and do best. Every day I come home grateful for the meaningful impact I have on the lives of the children and families I serve.
