Meet the Owner
Marquita Randolph-Fleeton, MA, BCBA, developed a passion for working with children with special needs in 2013 after working at a special needs summer camp program. She received her bachelor’s degree in 2012. She then received her Master of Science in Psychology from Kaplan University with a concentration in ABA in 2015. Before obtaining her BCBA certification in 2021, she was a Registered Behavior Technician and a Qualified Autism Specialist- Supervisor for eight years.
Marquita believes that combining faith and science makes her unique. She hopes to continue to shine her light on others across the world.
As someone who has always been passionate about working with children, Marquita knew that she wanted to make a difference in the lives of those who needed it most. After completing my education in psychology, She was fortunate enough to start working with children diagnosed with autism. Since then, Marquita is now the owner of L.U.K.E.S ABA Therapy and has had the opportunity to witness firsthand the incredible progress and growth that these children can achieve with the proper support and care.
Our Story
In the summer of 2013, Marquita met a child named Luke while working at a special needs summer camp. Marquita observed him sitting quietly like a gentle giant; she could not help but notice that there was something unique about him. After two weeks, his time at the camp was coming to an end. While picking Luke up from camp, his mother inquired about continuing in-home work with Luke.
Working with children with autism can be challenging, but it is also gratifying. One of the most important things she has learned with many years of experience is the importance of individualized care. Luke – and all of the children that she has served – have their own set of strengths, challenges, and needs. It’s crucial to take the time to get to know each child and develop a personalized approach to their care.
Here at L U.K.E.S ABA Therapy, we must continuously understand that progress with children diagnosed with autism can be slow and gradual. It’s essential to celebrate every small victory, no matter how insignificant it may seem. Over time, these small steps can add to significant progress, and it’s incredibly fulfilling to see a child with autism achieve their goals and thrive.
Meeting Luke in 2013 birthed L.U.K.E.S ABA Therapy in 2022. Our goal is to service children across the world with the help of our therapists and certified supervisors. The journey and love will continue to be shared with unique kids everywhere.
