Unveiling Stonebridge ABA: Your Gateway to Empowerment

Owner and CEO of Stonebridge, Gordon from a very young age was fascinated with human behavior and as a result majored in psychology as an undergraduate where he discovered the field of applied behavior analysis. Despite his love of skiing, he spent 7 years at the University of Kansas getting his Master’s and PhD at one of the few programs offering advanced degrees in applied behavior analysis at the time. He then spent the next several years exploring programs for people with autism in Washington state, and New Jersey, Traumatic Brain Injury in New Hampshire and finally his happy home in Massachusetts where he discovered there was a real priority on autism and applied behavior analysis in the programs in which he worked. Finally  achieving his dreams in 2012 by operating his own in-home program for people with autism, a center-based program in 2023 and oh yeah skiing as often as he can.

Chelsea’s love of the ocean runs deep, but so does her passion for working with children and young adults.  She chose to surround herself with children starting at a young age, and has now been in the field professionally for more than 15 years working in centers, a specialized private school, and in-home services. Chelsea attended Endicott College in Beverly and enjoyed her time there so much; she went back for her master’s degree in Severe Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis. She was a field hockey goalie through college, and joined the coaching staff for a decade following her final season. She and her wife most recently entered their “mom era,” first welcoming their son, then their daughter a few years later.  She enjoys all things “lake life” on Lake Bomoseen in Vermont where childhood summers were spent, and looking for sea glass and sea life along the New England coast with her friends and family.  When she’s not piloting her children (or doodle) on an adventure, she enjoys freezing time with them and the world around them from behind the lens of a camera.
