Jason Untario Behaviour Support Practitioner
Jason’s interest in the principles of behaviour analysis started when he was still working as a doctor in his home country of Indonesia. After graduating from medical school, he found work at a developmental clinic which focused on children with developmental delays. Jason referred families to the appropriate professionals in order to get diagnosis and manage the various conditions. Over the years, he became interested in behaviour analysis as one of the few modalities which showed promising outcomes for his clients.
Jason decided to learn more about behaviour analysis and received his Master of Education in ABA from Monash University, Melbourne. He has since operated as a behaviour therapist in the ACT working with children of varying ages from 3 to 12 years old. Recently, Jason moved to the Behaviour Support Practitioner position and started doing assessments as well as writing individualised programs. Jason loves working with children of all ages especially older children and working with parents who are keen to see their children progress.
