Lyret Carrasquillo

Dr. Lyret Carrasquillo, originally from Puerto Rico, has over 20 years of experience in behavior analysis. She developed an interest in applied behavior analysis (ABA) as an undergraduate at Florida International University, where she conducted infant research under Dr. Martha Pelaez. While working in the lab, she was introduced to ABA applications for children with autism, which sparked her passion for the field.
She began working as a behavior technician under Dr. Vincent Carbone, who trained her in verbal behavior and skill acquisition. In 2006, she became a BCaBA and later pursued a master’s degree in ABA at the Florida Institute of Technology, graduating in the top five of her class and joining Phi Kappa Phi Honor Society. She became a BCBA in 2010.
In 2019, Dr. Carrasquillo earned her doctoral degree in behavior analysis from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology. Her research included a thesis on behavioral skills training for novice instructors and a dissertation on using stimulus-stimulus pairing to establish vocalizations in non-vocal children with autism.
