WHAT TO EXPECT
Here's what working with us looks like
We work with children, teens, and adults, so there's no one-size program here. Before anything starts, our BCBA gets to know the person and their family, then builds goals around what matters most in their daily life. Sessions mix skill practice with activities they actually enjoy, and you'll hear from us after every visit about how it went.
Areas support can focus on
Communication
Being understood and understanding others through words, devices, gestures, or whatever works for them.
Independence
Doing more on their own at home, at school, at work, and out in the community.
Daily living
Everyday routines and self-care, practiced in real spaces like our kitchen and bathroom.
Emotional & behavioral regulation
Recognizing what’s hard, asking for a break, and coping strategies that hold up outside of session.
Safety
Safety skills for the person and the people around them, including elopement and community safety.
Social participation
Building connections and participating in activities with others in ways that feel comfortable and meaningful.
Quality of life
More access to the things a person enjoys, and fewer barriers to the life they and their family want.
And more
Every person is different. Support is tailored to each person’s goals, needs, interests, and everyday life.

OUR APPROACH
Care built around the person, not just the behavior
Ask anyone on our team and you'll hear the same thing: treat people as people, build real relationships, and teach skills that make life more independent.
WHAT SETS US APART
A BCBA who is involved
Treatment is supported by a BCBA who regularly collaborates with technicians and families, reviews progress, and adjusts programming as client needs change.
Regular coaching for technicians
Ongoing program adjustments
Direct communication with guardians
Person-first and age-appropriate
We speak to a teenager like a teenager and to an adult like an adult. No infantilizing language with dignity and independence being part of the plan, and not an afterthought.
Relationships come first
Skills are easier to build with someone you trust. Our technicians spend real time getting to know clients, and the space is meant to feel calm and homey rather than clinical.
PARENT SESSIONS
Families are part of the care team
You know them best. We share what we’re doing and why, so progress doesn't stop at the clinic.
Parent training
We'll walk you through the strategies we use in session, why we chose them, and how to fit them into your own routines.
Communication with the team
After every session, your Behavior Technician will give you a quick rundown of how the day went.
Questions we’re always glad to answer
?
Why are we working on this goal?
?
Can I observe or join part of a session?
?
How do I keep this going at home?
OUR TEAM
Meet the people who’ll be in the room
Every technician is trained and supervised by our BCBA, and most families work with the same small group of people week to week.
CLINICAL DIRECTOR
Josh Haegele
Clinical Director · BCBA, MA, MBA, LBA
Josh has been in the field for about 8 years and decided that it was time to strike out on his own. He started The Behavior Business LLC in order to provide high quality services to children on the spectrum and others in need of services. After seeing various quality of care at other agencies and being trained in a variety of effective methods of ABA implementation, he wanted to create a place, that would truly enable families to live their best lives.
Prior to starting this business, he wanted to make sure that he could run the business as well as perform clinically, and so returned to school in order to complete an MBA.

FAQ
Questions families ask us
There's no upper age limit. We decide fit one person at a time, based on their needs, their goals, and whether our team is the right match.
Individual sessions built around a person’s plan: skill practice, preferred activities, breaks and regulation support, and time in spaces suited to the work. A BCBA reviews the data and adjusts programming. See What to Expect for a closer look.
