Stephanie Bader, Ph.D., BCBA, LBA,
About Stephanie Bader (She/Her)
Dr. Bader is a NY licensed psychologist and behavior analyst, as well as a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). She has over 10 years of experience working with individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), developmental and intellectual disabilities, and other challenging behaviors using evidence-based behavioral interventions. Her clinical and research interests include the development of behavioral interventions and parent-training to increase adaptive behaviors (daily living skills, communication skills, social skills) and reduce maladaptive behaviors (noncompliance, tantrums, aggression) in individuals with and without a developmental disability. Dr. Bader enjoys working with clients and their families to address unique challenging behaviors while building the parent’s skills to continue to manage behaviors that may arise both in the present and in the future. She received her PhD in Clinical Psychology from the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, Mississippi. She then attended internship at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS) and the Arkansas Children’s Hospital (ACH) in Little Rock, Arkansas and went on to complete her postdoctoral fellowship at the Kennedy Krieger Institute (KKI) and John’s Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland.
