Services
Changing Behavior provides customized, professional services, based on the science of behavior, and the needs & wants of each client. Behavior analytic services are evidence-based, data driven, and have a focus on the remarkABILITIES of every child. We are here to support & enhance each client’s quality of day to day life.
By identifying the purpose or the “why” (function of behavior) of unwanted or challenging behaviors, we can most effectively create a behavior support plan (BSP). We can help support our clients by teaching &/or increasing more effective & ‘acceptable’ behavior(s). What can we teach your child or student to more effectively, efficiently, & safely express themselves & get their wants or needs met. All services are based on client & family needs – not just a standardized assessment with a list of goals generated.
Individualized services can be helpful for all children, including those with diagnoses of autism spectrum disorders (ASD), Down syndrome, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder/attention deficit disorder (ADHD/ADD), developmental disabilities, anxiety, general behavior concerns, or those with no clinical diagnosis. As humans, we all exhibit behavior – every day, throughout the day. Because of this, quality behavior support services can be helpful for anyone. Changing Behavior is based in Fargo, North Dakota but supports and collaborates with surrounding areas in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota.

“As founder/owner of Changing Behavior and as a parent, every aspect of my work is of the upmost importance to me. Through my experiences as a professional in the field of behavior analysis and my experiences as a Mom, I feel strong collaboration with families and teams is imperative. Feasibility and ease of implementation (in any environment) should be an important component when developing intervention. As one of the only BCBAs in the area who continues to work one-to-one with the child (because it’s what I love), I am competent and confident with my capacity in all aspects of services being provided – direct therapy, consultations, plan development, coaching, collaboration, & even billing.
My rapport with the children, families and professionals that I have encountered over the past 20+ years is what continues to drive me. My passion for what I do is directly related to each child. I am simply a part of the ‘village’ of people it takes to help pave the way, build and recognize successes, as well as help to develop the inner wealth of every child I am privileged to meet.“
