ABA Support Network Board Members are dedicated to improving and increasing access to quality ABA services in the home and in the community for all individuals who may benefit from it.
Nancy Walton
Nancy, mother of two, is a Secondary Math Teacher in her spare time. She has been involved in meetings with MLA's, MP's and School administrators regarding improving ABA services since her son was diagnosed in 2000. For almost 3 years, she was the facilitator of the South Fraser ASBC meetings. Nancy is on the board of the Autism Education Society (concerned with establishing a university program in ABA) and is also one of the founders of the ABA Advisory in the Surrey School District.
Dione Costanzo
Dione is a mother of two and an independent business woman. Since her son was diagnosed with autism in 2006 she has advocated at all levels of government for increased funding and access to services for individuals with autism. She is passionate about improving access to these supports in the community so all children with autism have the opportunity to participate and benefit from leisure activities.
Seanon Jones-Kirsebom
Seanon is a registered massage therapist and work capacity evaluator. The younger of her 2 sons was diagnosed with autism in 2002. Having run an ABA program in her home for 6 ½ years, Seanon is very familiar with the difficulties a parent can face accessing quality services in the home, and in the classroom. Thus far, her interest has been to see that children in an ABA program have access to an experienced ABA support worker in the classroom. Thus far, 5 tutors have trained extensively in her home, and gone on to work for the Surrey School District as ABA support workers.
