About Sacred ABA

Eighteen years ago, our lives changed forever with the birth of our beautiful daughter, Katherine (Kitty). She came into this world with Down syndrome, and later, we received an Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnosis. What began as a journey filled with unknowns quickly transformed into a path of purpose, love, and unwavering advocacy.

Kitty became our greatest teacher—showing us the true meaning of strength, patience, and joy. Because of her, we found our calling: to create a space where children like her are not only supported, but celebrated.

That calling gave birth to Our Sacred Academy (OSA) and Sacred ABA—two sister companies, united by one mission: to serve the academic and behavioral therapy needs of individuals with special needs in a community built on love, acceptance, and opportunity.



Every decision we’ve made, every family we’ve met, and every child we’ve had the honor to support has been guided by our belief that all children deserve to thrive—not in spite of who they are, but because of who they are.

Our journey started with Kitty, but it has grown into something much bigger. We are so grateful to walk this path alongside so many incredible students, families, and team members.

Thank you for being a part of our Sacred community.

Kathy earned her Bachelor's degree in Criminal Justice in 2009, which sparked her passion for working with youth and supporting their growth. In 2012, she became a substitute teacher and went on to obtain her Exceptional Student Educator (ESE) Certification, deepening her commitment to the field of education.

She continued her academic journey at St. Thomas University, where she earned a Master's degree in Guidance and Counseling in 2017. Following this, Kathy served as a Guidance Counselor for the school district, where she also took on the roles of 504 Liaison, Response-to-Intervention (RTI) Coordinator, and Testing Coordinator. In these positions, she worked diligently to ensure that students received the academic accommodations and interventions they needed to thrive.

Kathy’s diverse experience has equipped her with the knowledge and skills to support students academically, socially, and emotionally. She now brings that same dedication to Sacred ABA and Our Sacred Academy (OSA), where she continues to advocate for student success.

While she is proud of her professional accomplishments, Kathy’s true passion lies in serving the special needs community. She is wholeheartedly devoted to supporting the families of Sacred ABA and OSA, ensuring every child receives the care, attention, and opportunities they deserve.

Alex brings over two decades of leadership and operational experience from the auto industry, where he specialized in managing teams and driving organizational success. His strengths in operations and people management made him a natural fit for building the foundation of Sacred ABA and Our Sacred Academy.

In the early stages of the organization, Alex balanced a full-time role as a General Manager while working tirelessly behind the scenes to support the operational development of both Sacred ABA and OSA. His commitment and vision were instrumental in shaping the structure and mission of the organization.

After more than 20 years in the auto industry, Alex made the decision to retire and dedicate himself full-time to Sacred ABA and Our Sacred Academy. His mission is clear: to provide families with a comprehensive, one-stop solution that combines education and therapy under one roof—creating a safe, nurturing environment for children with special needs.



Alex’s work is deeply personal. As a special needs parent, he understands firsthand the concerns and hopes that families bring with them. His daughter, who receives ABA therapy and is also a student at OSA, continues to be the heart and inspiration behind the organization. His dedication to quality service, attention to detail, and unwavering advocacy for the special needs community guide everything he does.
