Kara Driscoll oversees clinical behavior analytics and educational programming for students primarily ages 5-15. She began her career at May Institute in 2014 as a Direct Therapist for school, center, and home-based services while pursuing a master's degree in psychology at Boston University.
Kara's undergraduate and graduate research focused on determining entry factors of commercial exploitation of women in the Boston area, which was later presented to the City of Boston. She completed her behavior analytic coursework in 2017 through the University of Massachusetts, Lowell.
After gaining her BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) certification, Kara transitioned to the May Center School for Autism and Developmental Disabilities in Randolph as a behavior specialist for students ages 14-22. She then moved to the early learning core, where she became Clinical Director in 2022. Kara and her team focus on selecting programming that builds to more advanced learning and accessing more opportunities for enjoyment as students grow.
Kara has presented original research at the BABAT Annual Conference and ABAI. Her primary area of interests include data collection and presentation to improve student outcomes on a core-wide level, pairing with reinforcement as an antecedent intervention to increase progress, and pursing programming that leads to accessing more reinforcing contingencies.
