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.

Meg joined Project Hope Foundation in May 2009, and developed a passion for ABA and for working with individuals with autism. After graduating with her master's degree in Professional Behavior Analysis from the Florida Institute of Technology, Meg became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst in 2015. In 2017, Meg became the campus coordinator for the Pendleton campus, and has been excited to be a part of the team as our services have expanded in the area. In 2021, she began serving as the Anderson campus coordinator as well. She is also the senior supervisor for the Anderson and Pendleton area.

Meg's favorite part of her job is working with families and seeing her clients learn and grow. She loves celebrating successes and finds that everyday has a success to celebrate. She also loves working with staff as they develop their own behavior analytic skills.

When she isn't at Hope, you can probably find Meg singing and acting on a local stage, reading a book, taking a trip, or hanging out with her husband Andrew.
