Betsy T., PhD, BCBA, LBA
Applied Behavior Analysis Clinical Director
I needed a change of scenery from the public schools, but I still wanted to work with this population of students. I knew that Heartspring had a school, but I didn’t know much about it. I reached out to the HR group to ask some questions and ultimately decided to apply. Once I accepted the position and started here, I’ve stayed because of the support and morale of the environment. I’ve never felt more supported, validated, and respected in a position before. Professionally I have been pushed to become a better educator and pursue higher career opportunities.
Alex K.
Special Education Teacher
I chose Heartspring because of its mission to support children with neurodevelopmental disorders in a compassionate, individualized way, and I’ve stayed because of the deep sense of purpose and connection I feel every day. Working here has helped me grow both personally and professionally, teaching me patience, empathy, and the value of teamwork. The most rewarding part is seeing the progress our students make—no matter how big or small—and knowing I played a part in their journey. One moment that stands out was when a nonverbal student used a communication device for the first time to say “thank you”—a small phrase that carried so much meaning. To anyone considering a career at Heartspring, I’d say it’s more than a job; it’s a place where your work truly changes lives.
