About Our Founder - Tara Zeller, MS, BCBA, IBA

Tara Zeller’s journey into the world of behavior analysis began in 1997 with an internship at the University of Central Florida. What started as an academic pursuit quickly blossomed into a lifelong passion for helping others unlock their limitless potential through the science of behavior.

In 2015, Tara founded AppleTree Connection with a clear aim: to make the transformative power of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) accessible to all. Drawing on her extensive experience as a Clinical BCBA and practice owner, she identified a critical need for high-quality, consistent training for aspiring behavioral practitioners. This insight led her to create Empowered RBT™, a comprehensive 40-hour training course designed not only to educate but also to empower.


Today, Tara continues to empower early career seekers, educators, and parents to influence positive behavior change globally. She is dedicated to lowering financial barriers to access training while raising the bar in practitioner quality. Through AppleTree Connection, Tara offers a range of services and resources that support and elevate the field of behavior analysis, ensuring everyone has the opportunity to excel and make a meaningful impact.

In her spare time, Tara enjoys traveling with her family, spending time outdoors, and cherishing moments with friends and loved ones.
