Jeremy Scalchunes BCBA, LBA

Associate Executive Director of Programs SEMP at The Nicholas Center

I am 15 year vet in the field of supporting individuals with developmental disabilities and an 8 year vet of the Nicholas Center. I began working as a Direct Support Professional in a residential facility in 2007. This is where I fell in love with providing the highest level of support possible for this population. This lead me to discovering the Nicholas Center in 2013 where I served as an RBT, Vocational Supervisor, Clinical Director, and now Associate Executive Director. I have watched this organization grow right before my eyes and I am beyond passionate about driving it's mission forward with my colleagues.
