Shannon Edwards is the Center Director at DASI Kids. She began her career with DASI as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) in 2015 before advancing to the Training Team and stepping into the Clinic Manager role in 2020. Throughout this journey, Shannon discovered a passion for mentoring and educating others who care for and work with children with autism spectrum disorder–which led her to pursue growing responsibilities at DASI Kids. Her natural passion for mentorship and clinical excellence led to her promotion as Center Director, where she oversees quality of care, clinic operations, team hiring and development, and center safety.
Shannon is a certified Safety Care® Trainer. Safety-Care is based on the principles of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and provides essential training to reduce the frequency and severity of behavioral challenges and related injuries in the workplace–which has proven to be an invaluable asset at DASI Kids. Shannon has also successfully completed her fieldwork and supervision experience at DASI, with plans to earn her BCaBA certification in Spring of 2027. She is deeply committed to high-quality ABA therapy while fostering a fun, supportive environment where both clients and staff can thrive.
She is a true believer that great work equals great rewards, and seeing the growth of DASI Kids’ clients and team members is one of the most rewarding aspects of her career. Outside of DASI, Shannon loves trying new hobbies, staying active, listening to music, and spending quality time with her husband and cats.
