Sophia Mandilas Conner, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA
Born in Buffalo, NY, to a cobbler and an occupational therapist, Sophia has been involved in working with children and individuals with disabilities her entire life, and knows how to get her hands dirty. She lived in Houston, TX while finishing her undergraduate degree at the University of Houston, and worked for 3 years at a pediatric rehabilitation clinic. She then pursued her Master’s degree from the University of Cincinnati while working as a Behavior Consultant for 4 ½ years. During this time, her mentors and the families she worked with had such a positive and life-changing impact that she became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Over her 6 additional years as a BCBA, she has worked in many environments and under many structures, from in-home to in-clinic to online, she has experienced it all. Sophia lives in Houston with her husband and dog. She enjoys cooking, gardening, learning about herself and others, and loves going on adventures.
