Join us in giving a warm welcome to our newest Behavior Technician, Kaydence! We’re thrilled to have her and excited to work alongside her.

Hi, I’m Kaydence Smith, a proud 2025 Honors graduate from San Jacinto College with an Associate’s in Social and Behavioral Sciences. My passion lies in psychology, particularly using it to make a positive impact on others. I’m continuing my education at the University of Houston–Main Campus, where I’m majoring in Psychology with aspirations to pursue their Doctor of Psychology program.

Outside of academics, I love spending quality time with my friends, family, and my furbaby. I also enjoy learning new line dances and am a Disney enthusiast—always planning my next trip to the happiest place on Earth!

Creating the right environment for children to feel calm, focused, and supported is at the heart of what we do. That’s why we’ve added the SensoryRx Commercial Full Pod System to our clinic — a fully immersive, state-of-the-art sensory experience designed to help children regulate, reset, and engage in meaningful ways.

✨ Here’s what it will look like:
These photos are from the SensoryRx website, showcasing the incredible design and features of the Commercial Full Pod System. We can’t wait to see what it looks like once installed in our own clinic.

The SensoryRx Full Pod offers:
✅ Self-regulation support — helps children manage sensory input and transitions with ease.
✅ Therapeutic movement and play — integrates proprioceptive and vestibular feedback to promote body awareness and coordination.
✅ Multi-sensory stimulation — combines lights, sound, and tactile input to enhance engagement.
✅ Safe, calming retreat — perfect for emotional regulation and de-escalation during therapy sessions.

At Applied Behavior Partners, we’re committed to creating spaces that empower children to thrive — emotionally, behaviorally, and developmentally.

🌟 Meet Our Founder & Clinical Director 🌟

We are proud to introduce Jourdan Sexton, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, the Clinical Director and Owner of Applied Behavior Partners.

Jourdan has been dedicated to the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) since 2016, with experience providing care in-home, in-clinic, and through remote services. Her educational journey began with an undergraduate degree in Business from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, followed by a Master’s in Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University. She is now in her third year of her Doctoral Program in Behavioral Health at ASU, with an expected graduation date in Fall 2026.

Over the years, Jourdan has worked across Texas, New Jersey, and Georgia, collaborating closely with professionals from multiple disciplines to provide comprehensive support for children and families. A Louisiana native, she moved to Deer Park, Texas eight years ago—where she built her career, met her husband, and grew her family.

Now, Jourdan is excited to bring her knowledge, compassion, and commitment to high-quality therapy to the Deer Park community through Applied Behavior Partners. 💙

✨ Stay tuned for updates as we prepare to open our doors and begin serving families soon!
