"WE BELIEVE IN EVERY CHILD’S POTENTIAL"
Éva Szulyovszky, MA, BCBA, IBA
Founder and Clinic Director
With over 20 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) and child psychology, I am dedicated to helping children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), other developmental challenges and their families thrive.
Originally from Debrecen, Hungary, I earned my Bachelor’s in psychology from the University of Georgia and a Master’s degree in Child Psychology from CUNY, New York, followed by BCBA (Board Certified Behavior Analyst) certification from Pennsylvania State University. My journey has taken me across the U.S., Hungary, Austria, and the UAE, where I have worked with children, families, and professionals (through individualized ABA interventions) from many different fields.
I had the privilege of being part of the founding team of (training) at The McCarton School (now Keswell School) in New York City, one of the most prestigious ABA programs in the US, where I worked alongside top experts and VIP families, including the founders of Autism Speaks. Throughout my career, I have held leadership roles, including Clinical Director at the WilsonCentre in Dubai, and founded the Hungary’s first ABA Therapy Center. My aim is to use all my knowledge and valuable experience to benefit the children and families I work with and train a future generation of skilled ABA therapists in Hungary.
My expertise includes Verbal Behavior (VB), Discrete Trial Teaching (DTT), Functional Communication Training (FCT), and Natural Environment Teaching (NET). I am also certified in ADOS-2 autism assessment and the UCLA PEERS Social Skills Program.
At ABA Kids, I strive to lead with excellence, integrity, inclusivity, and compassion, ensuring that each child receives the highest quality ABA therapy. My mission is to expand ABA services in Hungary and Europe, empowering families and professionals to create meaningful progress in children’s lives.
Katalin Pintér-Nagy
Founder & Managing Director
I earned my master's degree in International Business from Corvinus University and spent many years working in this field. My experience in multinational companies has given me a strong economic mindset, a structured, organized way of thinking, and a results-driven approach to problem-solving.
My goal is to run ABA Kids with the professionalism, innovation, and excellence of top international organizations. I prioritize continuous development to keep us at the forefront of ABA therapy and special education, while fostering an inclusive, supportive workplace where professionals thrive. With an international perspective, I ensure our approach aligns with the latest global best practices, benefiting both our team and the families we serve.
Becoming a parent to two wonderful children was a transformative experience for me. It deepened my understanding of the unique challenges families face and sparked a strong desire to move into a helping profession, specifically working with children. This led me to pursue studies in Special Education for Learning Disabilities and Psychopedagogy, a field where I can combine my structured way of thinking with a deep sense of compassion and dedication to child development.
Alongside my studies, I am also actively training to become an ABA therapist. I believe that as a leader, it is essential to have hands-on expertise in the field I represent. By immersing myself in ABA therapy, I ensure that I can not only lead ABA Kids with confidence and professionalism but also truly embody its core philosophy, values, and commitment to improving children's lives
