I had the pleasure of working alongside Elias when he served as a consulting BCBA for the school district where I worked. As a fellow BCBA, I got to see his work up close, and he made a real difference for the students and staff he supported. Elias is smart and thoughtful in his approach, but what stood out most was how collaborative he was. He listened to teachers, respected what they knew about their students, and worked with them to build plans that actually fit the classroom. He also has real expertise in the Happy Medium Approach, and it showed in his work. He used it with care and skill, and his students benefited from it. His biggest strength, without question, was the relationships he built with students. Kids trusted him. He was approachable, warm, and genuinely interested in who they were, and that connection made everything else he did more effective. Beyond his skills as a clinician, Elias is just a good person. He brings kindness and steadiness to his work, and he's someone you're glad to have on your team. I'd recommend him without hesitation.
