Hannah Ryder

M.A., BCBA, LABA

Center Clinical Manager

Hannah is a passionate BCBA who has been serving children with autism for 5 years. After student teaching in a substantially separate ABA-based preschool classroom, she was motivated to pursue her BCBA credential to be able to better support children on the spectrum in a 1:1 setting. She worked as a Registered Behavior Technician for 2 years, then earned her BCBA and has since been working to directly support clients and staff in center-based services. Her areas of skill include decreasing severe problem behavior, teaching functional skills, and building strong rapport with her clients. She is extremely passionate about keeping her clients happy, relaxed, and engaged and building strong relationships with them to be able to best support their skill development. At CAS, Hannah has served as an RBT, Clinical Supervisor, and now Center Clinical Manager at the New Bedford Center, where she works to maintain high clinical quality and best outcomes for clients.

What would my child’s day look like?

Our centers follow a play-based model where children learn through play in individual and group settings, including indoor/outdoor playgrounds, a preschool-style classroom, and open play areas with toys like train sets, a play kitchen, and costumes.
Similar to traditional childcare, our schedule includes play, snacks, meals, small group activities (circle time, crafts, imaginative play), and naps. What sets us apart is that each child is paired with a behavior technician who implements a personalized treatment plan under the guidance of a Board Certified Behavior Analyst, fostering communication, social skills, play, attention, and independence. Our centers are fun, engaging, and child-motivated!
