Abril Daniel

Chief Operations Officer


Abril's commitment to compliance and effective treatment pave the way towards quality patient care.


Abril's previous work in behavioral health management at a nonprofit organization gave her the opportunity to thrive  by doing what she loves most, providing compassionate and effective support to prevent behavioral crisis. Her passion for helping others continues on at TMC as her collaboration with clients, families and care teams facilitates the development of  personalized treatment plans for our patients. Her collaboration with non-profit organizations will lead the way for TMC to provide services for the most under served populations. She hopes her focus on creating a supportive, accessible path to mental and behavioral health care will make a difference in the lives of all of our members of the El Paso community. 





Maggie Romero

Chief Executive Officer


Maggie's dedication to the clinical growth of student practitioners and behavior supports for the adult populations is essential in supporting  El Paso ABA.


Maggie's previous work with Medicaid waiver programs for adults with IDD inspired her to cofound Coaching and Behavior Supports in 2020 to increase in person behavior supports in the region of El Paso.  In 2022 she stepped down from that role and continued to strive towards another one of her career goals, leading the next generation of BCBAs to apply their knowledge of ABA to a population that has played a significant role in their lives. In 2023 she created UnrestrictThis! a remote fieldwork program for student analysts which lead to the creation of TMC. The first verbal behavior teaching clinic that grows along with the needs of every client regardless of their age and income.

BEHAVIOR SUPPORTS FOR ADULTS

Our in home services for adults emphasizes person-centered care. 


We provide de-escalation training for behavior crisis to family members and staff who work directly with our learners.


Our goal is to increase self-regulation, self-advocacy and independence across all area's of our learner's life.

ABA CLINIC FOR CHILDREN

Our clinic based services focus on gradually thinning out a child's session structure to mimic a public school setting. Our goal is to increase independence of our learners for a smooth transition into the community upon graduation of services.


We encourage social validity in our treatment plans and emphasize family participation through our parent coaching program to support our learners outside of therapy.


Our team of clinicians take on a compassionate approach to ABA to prevent overstimulation and burn out of our learners.



LOOKING TOWARDS THE FUTURE

Our Upcoming Projects & Vision

At TMC, we are committed to driving positive change in the lives of individuals and families, particularly those who need it most. As we look to the future, we are excited to share two transformative initiatives we are working on—projects that will make a real difference in our community and beyond.

Pro Bono Support

We believe that every child, regardless of their background or resources, deserves access to the care and support they need to thrive. That's why we will be launching a pro bono program for student analysts, focusing on children on the autism spectrum who are in the greatest need.


Our Focus:

  1. Orphanages & Foster Care: Many children in these environments face additional barriers to accessing critical therapies. Our initiative will provide free, evidence-based ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) services to children in foster care and orphanages.
  2. Families Facing Financial Hardship: For families who may not have the financial means to transport their children to a clinic, we aim to offer virtual and mobile services, ensuring that children receive the support they need regardless of their location.


How It Works: Through our fieldwork program student analysts that are about to test for their exam along with BCBAs on our team will have the opportunity to work directly with children in need prior to sitting for their certification. This not only gives students real-world experience but ensures that children in our community receive the highest level of care at no cost to their families.

Community for Adults with IDD 

As part of our vision to create more inclusive communities, we are working on the development of a gated community specifically designed for adults with IDD. This community will provide a safe, judgment-free environment where residents can live, work, and thrive.


Key Features:

  1. ABA-Based Support: The community will integrate ABA therapy as a core part of daily life, helping residents develop skills and strategies to lead fulfilling, independent lives.
  2. Work and Employment Opportunities: We believe that meaningful employment is a key to empowerment. Residents will have access to vocational training and job placement programs that cater to their unique abilities.
  3. Safety & Accessibility: Designed with accessibility in mind, the community will offer fully adapted living spaces, and the area will be free from the stigma and barriers that individuals with IDD often face in traditional housing.
  4. Judgment-Free Zone: Most importantly, this community will foster an inclusive, supportive environment where individuals with IDD can live with dignity, autonomy, and a sense of belonging.



Our Goal: We envision a space where adults with IDD can thrive in their own homes, build relationships, and live independently, supported by a community that understands and meets their needs. It will be a place that not only provides residential care but also fosters growth, learning, and connection.

JOIN US IN MAKING A DIFFERENCE

Both of these initiatives are part of our larger mission to empower individuals with autism and IDD, create opportunities for growth, and make a tangible difference in our community. We are excited to continue developing these projects and invite you to be a part of this important journey. Whether through direct involvement, advocacy, or support, together, we can create a more inclusive future for all.


Stay tuned for updates on these projects, and feel free to reach out if you’d like to learn more or get involved!
