About Our Company

Sensible Solutions for Children LLC was founded in 2005 to provide ABA services to children with Autism Spectrum Disorder and other developmental disabilities. The founders, Donna and Russ Mattison, are Board Certified Behavior Analysts and Licensed Behavior Specialists in Pennsylvania. Donna and Russ have decades of experience in the diagnosis and treatment of skill deficits and behavior issues in public school special education and having retired from the public school system in 2005, have continued to consult to school districts and agencies. Because ABA and therapies derived from it have been shown to be the most effective treatments of the deficits and other issues associated with Autism Spectrum Disorder, we have made a commitment to offer clinical supervision of clinicians who are seeking certification by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB). Sensible Solutions for Children is a small firm and Donna and Russ believe that personal hands-on supervision of each treatment team offers the highest level of consistency and implementation of the best methods for each of our clients.

As part of Sensible Solutions for Children, LLC, it is the responsibility of the BCBA to conduct various descriptive and systematic behavioral assessments (e.g., functional analyses) and skill- based assessments (e.g., ABLLS-R, VB-MAPP, AFLS, etc.). The BCBA then provides behavior analytic interpretations of the results and designs comprehensive ABA treatment plans based on evidence-based practices and behavior analytic research literature. 

The BCBA provides training and supervision to Registered Behavior Technicians and Behavior Technicians with the implementation of behavior analytic interventions. The BCBA then supervises and monitors treatment progress of a client through data-based progress monitoring. The BCBA also provides training to parents/guardians and other adults responsible for the client.
