About Us

GISELA

Gisela is taking a significant step forward in her distinguished career by opening a one-of-a-kind ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) center. With three decades of focused dedication to Exceptional Student Education (ESE) within Broward County Public Schools, her profound understanding of the intricacies of special education and behavior analysis is unparalleled. Enriched by a Master’s degree in ESE, National Board Certification, Early Childhood School Director Certification, and Advocacy Certification, she is uniquely equipped with the insights needed to innovate and lead in the field. This marks a continuation of Gisela’s professional journey, ensuring that every child can thrive under her guidance.

AMBER

Amber, with her personal insights as a parent of a child with ASD, brings a unique perspective to this endeavor. Her journey through the challenges and triumphs of navigating the world of autism has been a source of inspiration and strength. Her firsthand understanding of the needs and concerns of families like hers ensures that DACARE is grounded in empathy, efficiency, and innovation. Several years ago, shortly after her son was diagnosed with ASD, Amber was fortunate enough to meet Gisela. She was lost and fearful of the future, but her relationship with Gisela was a source of strength for her. Her goal at DACARE is to bring that same guidance and hope to other parents on this journey.

Their vision for DACARE ABA Center is to become a beacon of hope and a pillar of support for the community, where every family’s journey is met with understanding, every child’s potential is nurtured, and where the possibilities for growth and learning are boundless. This center is more than just a place for therapy; it’s where their dedication, assistance, caring, advocacy, resources, and educational philosophy come to life, offering a brighter future for children and families navigating the world of Exceptional Student Education (ESE).
