About Our Company

At All About the Journey, we hold the belief that every child deserves unconditional love, to be able to thrive, and have the opportunity to realize their individual potential. We help families who are living with children diagnosed with autism or other disabilities to improve their quality of life to enable them to actively participate in the home, in the workplace, and in the community as a whole. We do this by maintaining a high standard of care through our expert staff. All About the Journey also believes in a total approach, that working and collaborating with families, schools, and all those involved is fundamental to the achievement of a child’s success. We believe through intensive behavior treatment based on the principles of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA), those affected can reach amazing potential, foster meaningful relationships. and lead productive lives.

As part of our agreement, 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 off of evidence-based practices and behavior analytic research literature. The BCBA provides training and supervision to Board Certified Assistant Behavior Analysts, Registered Behavior Technicians, and other responsible parties tasked 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 responsible parties for the client.
