About Us

Nicole Edge, MS, BCBA

Since 2011, Nicole Edge has been working in the field of Applied Behavioral Analysis. During the early years, Nicole worked as a Behavioral Technician. This job entailed working directly with a client for approximately 20 to 30 hours per week. During these sessions, it was her duty to implement goals along with teaching the appropriate replacement behaviors. As the years progressed, a desire to become a Board-Certified Behavioral Analyst (BCBA) had evolved. Therefore, she went back to school to obtain the necessary verified coursework in order to sit for the national exam. During these years, Nicole worked under a variety of different BCBA’s learning the necessary skill set needed along with obtaining the necessary supervision required by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). In May 2017, Nicole passed her national board exam and became a BCBA. Over the past four years, Nicole has been able to build her knowledge of ABA. In February of 2021, Nicole decided to open Autism Services of FL.
