"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 several years working in multinational companies in leadership and business roles. This experience shaped my strategic mindset, structured way of thinking, and commitment to high professional standards—qualities that continue to define my work today.
As the Director of ABA Kids, my goal is to ensure that every aspect of our organisation reflects the highest international standards. I strongly believe in continuous professional development, innovation, and providing children and their families with the highest quality of care. Equally important to me is creating a supportive and inspiring workplace where our professionals can grow, develop, and enjoy meaningful careers.
Becoming the mother of two children gave me a much deeper understanding of the challenges families face and inspired me to pursue a career dedicated to supporting children's development. It was this experience that led me to change career paths and devote myself to the field of special education.
I subsequently earned my degree in Special Education, specialising in Learning Disabilities and Psychopedagogy. This profession allows me to combine my previous leadership and business experience with my passion for helping children reach their full potential.
Alongside my leadership role, I am also training to become an ABA therapist. I believe that effective leadership requires more than managing an organisation—it requires a deep understanding of the work carried out by the professionals you lead. By continuously developing my clinical knowledge and practical skills, I can confidently lead ABA Kids while ensuring that our work remains aligned with the latest international best practices in ABA therapy and special education.
I believe that excellence in professional practice, evidence-based approaches, collaboration, and genuine compassion together create the environment in which children can achieve their greatest potential.
