Compassionate Care - Beyond the Buzz Words becomes clinically important the moment a team has to turn good intentions into reliable action inside caregiver coaching, home routines, team meetings, and values-sensitive decision making. For this course, the practical stakes show up in better alignment between intervention and the family context in which it must survive, not in abstract discussion alone.

Jasmine Williamson has spent the past 10 years working with and learning from children with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder and their families. She began her career in Chicago Public Schools, then transitioned to Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), where she thrived in 1:1, evidence-based settings. She earned a Master’s in Teaching in 2018 and an Autism Certification from Ball State University in 2019. After working in several ABA organizations at every level, Jasmine was tasked with building an ABA program at a pediatric therapy clinic in 2021. In 2024, Jasmine set out to found her own practice in Lake Zurich, Illinois, Autism Planet ABA. There she established an ABA program built on the foundations of her research into Practical Functional Assessment, Skill Based Treatment, Relational Frame Theory, and above all else, ABA therapy that simply feels good to implement and to observe. She has worked with dozens of families focusing on implementing progressive, individualized interventions that value each child’s preferences and focus on socially significant goals while identifying and honoring signs of assent and assent withdrawal. As a business owner, Clinical Director, and BCBA, she hopes to contribute to the application of the science of ABA in meaningful ways that challenge the field and enable the growth of her clients, families, RBTs, and practicum students.
