Olivia Ng, MA, BCBA, RBA (Ont.)
Associate Clinical Director
Olivia Ng is the Associate Clinical Director with Progressive Steps Training and Consultation Inc. She provides clinical supervision to Supervised Senior Therapists and Supervised Therapists supporting clients that we work with.
Olivia is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst (BCBA) and Registered Behaviour Analyst (RBA) who has supported hundreds of individuals with autism and developmental disabilities across the lifespan for over 20 years in both public and private sectors. Through this work, she has developed a personal philosophy that emphasizes compassionate and collaborative care for every client. Everyone has a story, and each story must be carefully considered in its unique context, while mindfully respecting the privacy, rights, wishes, and ambitions of the client. Olivia has provided clinical mentorship to numerous clinicians and students of behaviour analysis while espousing this very philosophy.
Olivia holds a MA in Applied Disability Studies (Specialization in ABA), a BA in Psychology and English Literature, and is currently pursuing her PhD in Behaviour Analysis. She is a member of the Ontario Association for Behaviour Analysis (ONTABA) and the Association of Professional Behaviour Analysts (APBA).
In her personal time, Olivia is an amateur equestrian. She likes to spend time with her horse, cats, and rambunctious Labrador retriever.
