About Us

My name is Danny Velasco, and I'm a BCBA in Bakersfield, California. I founded Central Roots ABA after passing the BCBA exam in May 2025. My inspiration stems from wanting to help others preparing for the BCBA exam, especially those in similar positions. Rooted in the Central Valley, I aim to share my story of growing up in Bakersfield and my love for this city and surrounding areas. My goal is to not only help families but also to support those who aspire to grow in the field of ABA, enabling them to help others in our community.

Our Compassionate Approach

If Central Roots ABA were a person, its personality would be defined by compassion and a relentless determination to help others achieve success and independence, tailored to their unique needs. Our core values—compassion, positivity, creativity, and innovation—drive our work and positively impact our clients. We strive to help clients improve in socially meaningful ways, empowering them to communicate and advocate for themselves effectively.
