 FAQs

  • A Functional Behavior Assessment is a comprehensive evaluation that determines why challenging behaviors are happening. As a BCBA, I look at what happens before and after behaviors, environmental factors, communication needs, and other variables. This assessment allows me to develop targeted intervention strategies that address the root causes rather than just managing symptoms.

  • Yes! I accept the Ohio Autism Scholarship Program for qualifying behavioral services. The scholarship can cover behavioral assessments, intervention planning, and targeted therapy services. Contact me to discuss your child's eligibility and how to use scholarship funds for our services.

  • I provide focused behavioral therapy services that incorporate ABA principles, but my approach is different from traditional intensive ABA therapy. I focus on specific goals and teaching parents to implement strategies rather than providing hours of direct therapy. This approach is often more effective for building independence and family-centered goals.

  • As a BCBA, I focus on behavior, learning, and skill acquisition rather than speech or sensory-motor development. However, I often work collaboratively with speech therapists and occupational therapists to ensure all aspects of your child's development are supported. I can also help address behavioral barriers that may be interfering with progress in other therapies.

  • Goal selection is always collaborative with families. During our assessment, we'll identify your priorities and your child's most important needs. I help families focus on goals that will have the biggest impact on daily life - things like communication, independence, social skills, or reducing challenging behaviors that are interfering with family functioning.

Every child deserves to feel confident and capable. Whether you're a parent seeking solutions for your child or an educator working to support all learners, I'm here to help you create lasting positive change. Together, we can turn challenging moments into opportunities for growth.
