Bethany Matthews joined Project Hope Foundation as a line therapist in September 2013 after graduating from Clemson University with a B.A. in Biological Sciences and a minor in Psychology. Her experience with autism has mainly come from her time with Hope, but she also worked two summers at a camp for children and adults with special needs. In the fall of 2021, Bethany received her M.A. in Professional Behavior Analysis from Florida Institute of Technology and became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

What Bethany enjoys most about her role in ABA is teaching clients meaningful skills through collaboration with their therapy team, family, and other service providers. Witnessing the independence these skills can give the client and their family makes the job so rewarding. She also loves seeing her clients’ smiles and hearing them laugh during their sessions.

During her free time, Bethany can be found cheering on the Clemson Tigers (or watching college football in general), baking, trying out new places to eat, and spending time with her family, friends, and dog.
