In early 2024, Jacinto decided he wanted to transition from warehouse work to ABA therapy after living with family in Texas and helping care for his cousin’s child, who is on the spectrum. After a few weeks of working at his first ABA clinic, with children between the ages of 2 to 8 years old, he found the work he was doing much more rewarding and fulfilling.

From elementary school to high school, Jacinto had a great support system and always wanted to find a way to help others - to make young children feel safe and heard, while also helping them grow into the best versions of themselves. Being in ABA has helped him do just that!

Outside of work, Jaci likes to unwind with his black cat, Stevie, a coloring book and markers, and trashy reality TV/true crime or building a Lego set - if any are on sale. He is the second oldest of seven kids, so family time is very important. When he’s not at home or at work, he can be found at the nearest arcade with his younger siblings.
