 Marissa is a Registered Behavior Technician and has been working with children for over two years.  It’s always been a dream and a big passion for Marissa to work with kids who have ASD. Growing up she was very close with a cousin who was on the spectrum and knew that she wanted to one day make a difference in people's lives. Marissa started working as a respite, and habilitation provider. Marissa has been apart of the DevelopMeant team and providing ABA services for 1 year and absolutely loves it, she loves the family dynamic and enjoys working with the kids.  

 Darius “Derry” Montana is a dedicated Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) at DevelopMeant Therapy Center, with less than 1 year of experience supporting individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and other developmental disabilities. However, Derry has a diverse background in behavioral health and with a passion for helping clients reach their full potential, Derry works closely with Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) to implement individualized treatment plans using evidence-based principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). At DevelopMeant Therapy Center, Derry is committed to fostering positive behavioral changes and providing compassionate, client-centered care. When I am not working with clients, I am an avid reader with a keen interest in furthering my knowledge in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA). I enjoy writing short stories, exploring the creative realms of imagination. I’m also a dedicated fan of Star Trek and all things sci-fi, which fuels my curiosity and passion for the unknown. Additionally, I set time aside for the gym to help me maintain my mental and physical health, along with experimenting with cooking new foods. My diverse interests and commitment to continuous learning make me a well-rounded individual, ready to bring creativity and analytical thinking to any professional setting. 

I am a dedicated and compassionate Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) with over five years of experience as a caregiver for children of various ages. My background in caregiving has equipped me with a strong foundation in understanding and supporting each child’s unique needs.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my three beloved dogs, who keep me active and brings me endless joy. I love travelling with my fiancé, exploring new places and cultures whenever we can. In my free time I enjoy baking delicious treats or working in my garden.
