by KATHLEEN PETTY - San
Antonio Magazine | Pub: 01/02

When Ashley Labay began applying for positions as a behavior therapist, she didn’t have to look far. The recent University of Texas at San Antonio graduate spent the
summer and fall semesters completing an internship at the newly established Autism Treatment Center clinic at The Children’s Hospital of San Antonio and knew after months of working with area kids that she wanted to stay in the Alamo City, preferably right
where she was. “I thought about moving to Houston or back to Lake Jackson, where I’m from,” she says. “But I’ve had such a great experience here. I love this environment.”
