Bancroft has named Kellie Goldberg, MS.Ed., BCBA, as Associate Director of the Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) Center of Excellence.

The ABA Center of Excellence is a valuable resource in the region, ensuring clinical excellence and best practices for about 100 Board Certified Behavior Analysts, Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts, and ABA Specialists. 

Goldberg has been Clinical Director of Bancroft’s Lakeside Program for adults with severe autism and related behavioral challenges since 2017. She brings to the position 20 years of experience in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis, and extensive experience working in residential settings supporting children and adults with severe challenging behaviors. 

“Kellie has been instrumental in helping to shape the Center of Excellence throughout her time with Bancroft,” said Tracy Kettering, Ph.D., BCBA-D, the center’s director. “Her depth and breadth of clinical and leadership experience — especially working with individuals with more severe forms of autism — will be an invaluable asset, helping to elevate our clinical team and ensure we continue to provide effective, innovative, evidenced-based treatment to those in our care.” 

Goldberg is an adjunct instructor at Rider University. She has a master’s degree in applied behavior analysis from Temple University.
