Natasha Pedro-Petty B.A. (Hons)
Natasha graduated from McGill University in 2006 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Psychology and Behavioural Neuroscience with a minor in Sociology. She began her work in the field of Applied Behaviour Analysis as a Verbal Behavioural Therapist at Tomorrow’s Voices in October of 2007. During university, Natasha gained experience with children on the Autism Spectrum and brought her passion and dedication back to her home in Bermuda. Her experience at Tomorrow’s Voices includes providing 1:1 instruction to clients and support to parents. With a particular interest in the behavioural and communication aspects of the spectrum, she intends to pursue her Masters Degree in the near future.

“Having a career where I can be a part of increasing awareness and providing resources for children and their families is so rewarding. It is the children I have to thank every day for making my life a little brighter, and I intend to continue on in insuring that Bermuda has these resources needed to help these children succeed.”

Mona Wierzbicki B.A.
After graduating Magna Cum Laude with a BA in Psychology and Art from the University of Rhode Island, Mona Wierzbicki started her career as a preschool teacher. There she attended a workshop on preventing and managing difficult behaviors and became interested in working specifically with challenged learners. She has since worked throughout New York, Massachusetts, and her hometown of Rhode Island providing professional and private services to children on the Autism Spectrum between the ages of two to twenty one utilizing the principles of VB and ABA. She has collaborated with educators, parents, OT and SLP professionals in both home based and center based programs.

“My success as a therapist has come from applying the principles of ABA and VB. Getting a child to demonstrate what they know, especially a child with communication deficits can be very difficult, but through an understanding of behavior and learning it is possible. With some learners it happens very quickly, while others may take more time. It can be discouraging when a child doesn’t progress as quickly as you or the family anticipates, but with dedication, perseverance, patience, and a knowledgeable team any child can and will learn. There is no greater reward when even a small step is achieved, and this is what we strive for, working hard every day…for tomorrow’s voices.”

Nevillene Ball-Wachter B.S., M.Ed
After graduating with a BS in Psychology from Atlantic Union College in Lancaster, Massachusetts, Nevillene returned home to Bermuda to teach for several years in the Government schools. It was while teaching in numerous primary and middle schools that she was first exposed to and developed an interest in children with Autism. The next decade of her career was spent in Oregon, where she gained clinical experience working in a busy pediatric practice and provided instructional leadership in a preschool setting to gain experience in early childhood education. With a passion for integrating technology into the classroom to facilitate more effective learning, Nevillene pursued her Masters in Education specializing in Instructional Technology from American Intercontinental University. In summer 2009, Nevillene returned to Bermuda with a renewed interest in effective learning for children of all levels and abilities.

"Working with the children at Tomorrow's Voices has proven to be immensly rewarding, and seeing even one degree of progress with our students can mean a brighter future for them tomorrow."
