Director of Psychology, Children’s Specialized ABA

Dr. Jaime Ann DeQuinzio is a passionate leader in the field of autism evaluation and treatment, currently serving as the Director of Psychology at Children’s Specialized ABA in New Jersey. With more than 25 years devoted to supporting individuals and families navigating autism, she believes that an accurate diagnosis is the essential bridge that connects individuals to the right, personalized care—a foundation for meaningful change.

Dr. DeQuinzio earned her doctorate in Psychology, specializing in Learning Processes and Behavior Analysis, from the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.

She has mentored many aspiring behavior analysts and psychologists. She has taught undergraduate and graduate courses in psychology and applied behavior analysis at Queens College and Caldwell University, and, during her time on the faculty at The Chicago School of Professional Psychology, she served as chair for numerous graduate thesis projects.

She shares their values of collaboration and personalized intervention—firmly believing that by empowering families through clear diagnoses and tailored support, children with autism and developmental differences can thrive.
