Dr. Gabriella Barrientos is co-founder of Twice Consulting Services (TCS). Along with her identical twin, a doctor of public health, TCS uses the best of ABA and public health to advance clinical and administrative practice. Dr. Barrientos will share how her close consultation with public health experts resulted in holistic interventions which are inclusive of social determinants of health and bystander intervention. This collaboration has resulted in a collective impact of protecting and uplifting vulnerable groups, creating a culture of respect, and providing medically accurate and culturally relevant ABA interventions to affirm transgender and autistic minors during a politically, legally, and socially oppressive climate.
