How do I repair massive screwed up Undergrad degree?

I made the horrible decision to "push through" my undergraduate degree during a excessively complex and stressful period in my life. As a result I did significantly less than satisfactory, but I chose to graduate instead of going back through and fixing subpar courses.

I graduated with a 1.93 GPA. I am not remotely proud of it. I'm also an "academic" person, but clearly failed to deliver.

Additionally, I've maxed out my student loan limits for undergraduate degrees. I'm finally at a point in my life (4 years after graduating) where I've decided what I want to do. The problem is obtaining the education necessary to do it. 

My bachelors degree is in Family and Human Development. I've pinned down pursuing courses necessary to be a BCaBA, maintaining that position for several years and then continuing to be a BCBA. 

I've considered:

- Trying to get a Master's Certificate in ABA, which would satisfy coursework for the BCaBA
- Trying to pursue a BAE for Special Education with focus on ABA

My undergraduate GPA is too low really for anything at all, so I've zero chance pursing a graduate certificate or degree in any capacity. Because I've maxed out student loans I can't pursue an undergraduate degree. Additionally, I've been either in the IT industry or at home as a stay-at-home-mom for the past 6 years so I don't have in-field experience. I briefly participated as a research assistant in a related lab before I graduated, but again, it's unlikely to prove much of anything due to my complete failure academically. 

After that train wreck of a story, where do I go from here? Do I even have any viable options (paying out of pocket isn't a choice at all, obtaining private loans also isn't a choice) to pursue anything ABA related or anything I can do to fluff an application for a graduate certificate (I'm aware "Fluffing" may take years)?

Without solid, relevant, work history, and with poor academic performance, you strongest option is to actually go to community college and get a degree in something complementary (Academically and professionally) to your ultimate academic goal.

As long as your state is funding the CC system (most are these days, the ROI is great,) you will find many great programs to choose from and at very low prices. 

Do well in your courses, and, if possible also build relevant work history.
