About
Sajeeta's Journey
Sajeeta Dhungana's connection to ABA began at home. After her son was diagnosed with autism, she began learning about ABA services and saw how thoughtful, consistent support could help families better understand behavior, communication, and everyday routines.
That experience opened the door to a new professional path. Sajeeta started as a Registered Behavior Technician, continued her training, and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. Today, she brings both clinical expertise and lived understanding to her work with families, caregivers, and school teams.
Sajeeta is from the Nepali community and lives in Ellicott City, Maryland with her two children and their dog. Her approach is warm, practical, data-based, and family centered.
