Green Box ABA, PLLC

​We’re thrilled to celebrate a decade of providing Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy! A huge thank you to the families who have trusted us with their child’s growth and development. It’s been an honor to work alongside you, and together, we’ve witnessed incredible progress. We hope that you will read more about our 1st Ten Years below. 

​

In celebration of our birthday, we are collecting non-perishable food items to donate to a local food bank. But here is our special birthday twist - we are looking for food that kids like! Especially those "treats" that they don't usually find in food banks! Drop off donations in our waiting room or send along to the office with your in-home therapist.

​

A Decade of Growth and Impact

From our early days to becoming a leading ABA provider in Northern Virginia, we’ve stayed committed to compassionate, evidence-based practices that truly impact children’s lives. From the start, we’ve tailored our services to meet the unique needs of military families, understanding the challenges that come with relocations, deployments, and transitions. Our model of care is designed to support you through it all.

​

Practitioner-Led Leadership. What sets us apart is that Green Box ABA is led by practitioners. Our founder/CEO Carl Dzyak, COO Chris Richardson, and Clinical Director Dr. Barbara Kaminski are all ABA professionals. This means every decision is grounded in years of hands-on experience, ensuring that the focus remains on delivering the best possible care to your children, not on profits and corporate interests.

​

Resilience Through Challenges. We are incredibly proud of how we navigated the challenges of the past few years, especially during the pandemic. While services at many agencies were disrupted, we remained open, adapting quickly to ensure families received uninterrupted support. Whether through virtual parent sessions or modified in-person protocols, we were there every step of the way.

​

A Part of Our Community. Giving back to the community is a priority. Our clinical team has provided consultative services to schools, religious organizations, and local non-profits. For example, we partnered with Heart House Inclusive Productions, whose mission is to integrate performers with disabilities into mainstream theatre, and with the PlayTime project, which provides transformative play opportunities to children from families experiencing housing insecurity.

​

Some Other Key Milestones

• In 2015, we moved to a larger location, creating more space for group activities essential for social skills development.

• As we grew, we added dedicated administrative staff, allowing our practitioners to focus fully on clinical services.

• Transitioning many therapists to full-time salaried positions has helped us retain staff, providing continuity and avoiding the high turnover seen in many agencies.

 

Our Dedicated Team

Our therapists and support staff are the heart of what we do. Over the past 10 years, they’ve brought passion and expertise to every session, tailoring therapy to meet the unique needs of each child. We're proud of the team that makes it all possible!

​

Built on Commitment. A Team That Grows with You.  Unlike many ABA companies, we’re proud to have had strong staff retention over the past 10 years, with many of our therapists staying with us for years, growing alongside the company and deepening their expertise. This consistency allows us to build long-lasting relationships with the families we serve, ensuring continuity of care and deeper connections that make a real difference in your child’s development. Their commitment and consistency are the foundation of our success, allowing us to offer the highest quality of care, year after year.

​

Leadership in ABA. Our clinical team doesn’t just work in the field—they help lead it. We have hosted intensive workshops led by top experts, presented at national and international ABA conferences, and contributed to professional articles and book chapters. Our Clinical Director, Dr. Kaminski, also teaches at George Mason University, The Chicago School, and Mary Baldwin University, helping shape the next generation of ABA professionals.

​

Leaders of the Future. We’re also proud of our staff’s ongoing professional development. Many have pursued advanced ABA training, and we currently have nine RBTs (eight with master’s degrees) completing their fieldwork to qualify for the BCBA credential.

​

Families at the Core

None of this would be possible without the trust and collaboration of the families we serve. Your involvement and dedication inspire us daily. Over the years, we have developed resources to support you, including:

• Recorded Educational Workshops: Available on our YouTube channel, these workshops cover topics that matter to families.

• Quarterly Blog: From teaching politeness to relocation tips, our blog focuses on what’s important to you. 

• Parent Handbook: A comprehensive guide covering everything from weather closures to sickness and holiday policies.

• Coming in 2025 – Parent Guide to Applied Behavior Analysis: This manual and curriculum will help families navigate the start of ABA services smoothly.

 

Looking Ahead

As we step into the next decade, we’re excited to continue evolving with the latest research and techniques in ABA therapy. Thank you for being part of the Green Box ABA family—we are deeply grateful for your trust and look forward to what the future holds.
