About Me
Hi there! My name is Joanne Barry, and I am a BCBA who has been working with individuals with Autism, chromosome disorders, learning disabilities, and challenging behaviour for over 15 years. I hold a BSc in Social Psychology with a Diploma in Industrial Studies and an MSc in Applied Behaviour Analysis from Ulster University. Through my experience with both children and adults, I have seen the lifelong impact of Autism. That's why I created Building Buddies, a service that teaches social skills in manageable chunks, helping individuals with Autism to better understand and engage with others.
