Lisa Baskie, DSW, RBT
Lead Behaviour Therapist
Lisa Baskie is a Lead Therapist with Progressive Steps Training and Consultation Inc.
Lisa has been working in the Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) field for over 5 years. When she first started as an instructor therapist she immediately fell in love with the field as she was able to see life changing improvements in her learners within short periods of time. Since then she has dedicated her schooling and work careers to further developing her skills in order to be able to provide the most effective services she possibly can.
Lisa believes that when ABA services are provided in a correct and ethical manner, anyone can develop new, life changing skills. Lisa has a passion for teaching her learners to self advocate for themselves, as well as develop daily-living and social skills. She believes that every person has the right to an independent, safe, and happy life and she is thrilled she can help others achieve these skills in their own lives.
When Lisa is not working she loves completing art projects for her and husbands home. She loves to bring her creativity and art skills into each of her sessions to allow her learners to express themselves and engage in fun activities during work and break times.
