Lauren Mathison
Behavior Training Coordinator
My name is Lauren Mathison, I have been volunteering at The Brave Warrior Project since 2021 and joined the staff as a Behavior Training Specialist in November of 2023. I am proud to work alongside a team that is caring, compassionate and eager to learn. I am married to an amazing husband, and have three teenage boys. All three of our boys love sports, so on the weekends you can find us in the stands, on the bleachers or at the field.
At a young age I lived next door to a child affected by autism. My childhood involved learning from his therapists employed by the Lovaas Center and UCLA’s Neuropsychiatric Department and Research Center. I was privileged to watch and learn at a young age
from world renown leaders in autism research as they provided Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT) sessions. Throughout High School, under the supervision provided by the Lovvas Center, I worked with several families as an ABA therapist.
I have always had a passion for behavior and learning. I received my B.S. in Psychology at Pacific Lutheran University and my Masters in Psychology at Phillips Institute in Los Angeles. I was employed by the Autism Partnership in Los Angeles. It is my dream and pleasure to be a part of The Brave Warrior Project's vision to meet the needs of individuals and families impacted by special needs and chronic illness.
