LLA Spotlight: Mekenzie Benson
We have amazing therapists at LLA and want to showcase them to you! This week, meet Mekenzie Benson!
Mekenzie is a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) who has been with LLA for five months. She serves clients in our Fairlawn office. She chose to become a therapist solely to make a positive difference in someone’s life. Her days for the past 5 months have consisted of working 1 on 1 with amazing children on the autism spectrum, teaching them many different skills. One of her favorite things about being a therapist is teaching her kiddos a new target and getting to see the progress that they make day by day!
