Neill Dorn
Owner
Neill began working with children with Autism in home-based programs in 1998. His graduate training took place at the New England Center for Children and Northeastern University in Boston from 2000-2003 when he earned his Master's of Applied Behavior Analysis and BCBA. Since then, Neill has served as a supervising behavior analyst for early intervention, school and home programs, residential programs, and state institutions. Neill has written and taught coursework, and supervised dozens of BCBAs through Northeastern University, the University of Massachusetts and the University of Washington. While working for the University of Massachusetts, Neill co-wrote and secured a NIMH-funded grant to develop a novel method of computer-aided Momentary Time Sample data collection. Neill lives in Bellingham, WA where he enjoys hiking, boating and spending time with his children and his dogs.

Cori Gushikuma, BCBA, LBA
Clinical Co-Director
Hi! I'm Cori. I'm a BCBA for Elevate with a will to help and serve others. I've practiced in clinics, schools, and in the home. I moved to Washington from warm and sunny Hawaii, hoping to bring the sun shine with me. Although I haven't managed to do that, seeing my kiddos shine with confidence and happiness is all the warmth my heart needs. In my free time I'm a foodie and bottom shelf wine connoisseur who likes to travel, do arts and crafts, and snuggle with my puppers, Momo.
