Ray Behavior Consulting Is a neuro-affirming behavioral therapy practice that Is strict about Its compassion first model. Ray Behavior consulting offers Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children, teens and young adults. We teach life skills that support our clients goals, provide the skills to gain opportunities to live a purposeful, and full life. Skills we teach that often lead to people being able to achieve this Include, social skills, communication, executive functioning skills, daily tasks Including age appropriate chores and responsibilities, and the emotional regulation skills to be able to do these tasks without falling Into burnout. 

Ray Behavior Consulting Is neurodivergent owned and opperated, using evidence based research and lived experience to meet clients where they are at without judgement. Ray Behavior Is different in many ways than other ABA clinics, one of the major ways Is all services are delivered In a BCBA only model assuring that clients receive direct support from a masters level clinician. More on this below!

Neurodivergent people are unique and often have Impressive skillsets and strategies. They think In Incredibly creative ways that others may not be able to. They also can have challenges with tasks or activities that others do not for this same reason. Historically, society has been inflexible and sometimes downright ableist with neurodivergent and disabled people. Ray behavior supports a world that Is accepting of everyone. We also know that while the world gets to that place, neurodivergent people are living In the now. Neurodivergent children deserve to have someone who will teach them how to learn In a classroom at their pace without needing to use a tantrum to communicate, teens deserve to have opportunities to make friends and test out their social skills without negative or Isolating experiences, adults deserve the opportunity to learn how to make their favorite meal with support that works with their learning style. Ray behavior Is here to provide this support In a low pressure and positive environment. 

Ray Behavior's core values are respect and compassion. The world can be a difficult place to navigate. Our goal is for every client to feel heard and seen as we work together to support them in learning the skills necessary to navigate their world with confidence and create a life uniquely their own. Our practice is built upon principles that guide every session: we are neuroaffirming, recognizing and respecting neurological differences; we are trauma assumed, meaning our approach is gentle and non-coercive; and we are client-led and assent driven, ensuring the client's personal goals and ongoing consent drive our work. We demonstrate these values by always respecting a client's or family member's right to decline participation, immediately collaborating to find an activity or goal they are willing to engage in, and consistently checking for active assent from even our smallest learners. While Ray Behavior acknowledges the historical mistakes within the field of ABA, we recognize that the underlying theories and other evidence-based methodologies are effective tools for supporting behavior change, and we are dedicated to utilizing them with the utmost respect and compassion. Ultimately, we believe every person deserves the opportunity to effectively gain the skills they wish to have to reach their goals.
