At Easterseals Arkansas, the heartbeat of our mission lies in the dedication of our incredible team members. This week, meet Twylla Brock, a Behavioral Therapist at the Center for Training & Wellness. She is one of the many people who go above and beyond each day to help individuals with disabilities lead more independent and fulfilled lives.
A Mission-Driven Journey
Twylla Brock brings nearly six years of passionate service to her role as a Behavioral Therapist in the Behavioral Health & Wellness program, drawn to Easterseals by its commitment to person-centered support and evidence-based practices. With a Bachelor's in Psychology from Arkansas Tech University, where she focused on applied behavior analysis, and a Master of Science in College Student Personnel, along with a Master Certification in Academic Advising, Twylla's academic foundation runs deep.
But she didn't stop there. Recognizing the evolving needs of the individuals she serves, Twylla earned certifications as a Behavior Specialist (Partners), Qualified Behavioral Health Provider (Easterseals), and Safety-Care Trainer (QBS). This impressive blend of education and credentials allows her to seamlessly translate theory into practice:
"I'm drawn to environments that value open communication, teamwork, and shared success."
That philosophy guides every interaction with clients and colleagues alike.
Problem-Solver Extraordinaire
Known throughout the Center for Training & Wellness for her strong work ethic and reliability, Twylla has earned a reputation as the person who gets things done. Her colleagues appreciate her exceptional ability to identify underlying needs and develop compassionate, practical solutions—even in the most challenging situations.
Whether she's de-escalating behaviors with calm dignity or rolling up her sleeves to support a new initiative, Twylla excels at building positive relationships that foster real growth. Her knack for problem-solving isn't just a professional skill; it's a calling. She sees beyond surface behaviors to understand what individuals truly need, then creates strategies that honor their dignity while promoting independence.
Life Beyond Work: Crafts, Books, and 28-Hour Days
Away from her job, Twylla is a devoted crafter and avid reader who loves getting lost in a great book or designing new projects with her family. Recently, she's taken up marathon walking, steadily working toward her first running goal; all a testament to her determination and growth mindset.
Born in California and having lived in multiple states throughout her childhood, Twylla's diverse upbringing gives her unique empathy for those seeking community and belonging. Perhaps that's why volunteering is second nature to her. You'll often find her lending a hand at local events and outreach efforts, modeling the spirit of giving back for everyone around her.
Twylla jokes that she somehow makes 28 hours fit into every 24-hour day, possible only due to her boundless energy and exceptional organizational talents!
A Legacy of Connection
When asked how she hopes to be remembered, Twylla turns to the wisdom of one of her inspirations:
"People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou
For Twylla, it's never just about what she does; it's about how she makes people feel. Whether she's working with clients in the Behavioral Health & Wellness program, collaborating with teammates, or volunteering in the community, she's passionate about forging genuine connections and inspiring others to believe in their own potential.
With her compassionate approach and unwavering dedication, Twylla Brock is making an impact that will resonate long into the future.
