⚠️ Summer 2026 Update

We are actively planning staffing, groups, and space — and based on early interest, capacity is already limited.

We intentionally keep our program:

✔️ Small

✔️ Structured

✔️ Staff-supported

This means we cannot expand beyond what we can support well.

If your family is considering summer, now is the time to let us know.

🌞 What makes Summer at PosAbilities different?

It’s not just summer care — it’s a structured, intentional program designed to support growth, independence, and connection.

At PosAbilities:

✔️ Days follow a predictable routine

✔️ Activities are purposefully designed (not just “fill the day”)

✔️ Participants are grouped thoughtfully by age and support needs

✔️ Staff are trained to support engagement, not just supervision

This structure is what allows our participants to feel successful, regulated, and included.

Spots are limited, and planning is already underway.

📆 A day in the Life of a Behavior Consultant Providing Therapeutic Consultation

🗓️ 8:30 AM — Coffee in hand, laptop open.
I review notes from yesterday’s home visit. What patterns are emerging? What happened before the behavior? What happened after? The data tells a story — and my job is to listen.

🏘️ 10:00 AM — I’m at a group home observing a morning routine.
Is the individual given enough time to process instructions?
Are expectations clear?
Is the environment setting them up for success… or stress?

I’m not there to judge.
I’m there to understand.

👬11:30 AM — Team coaching.
We talk through strategies:
✔ How to support transitions without escalating anxiety
✔ How to reinforce communication attempts
✔ How to respond calmly and consistently

Behavior doesn’t happen in isolation. Support teams need support too.

🚗12:45 PM — I head home to finish the day from my home office.
Therapeutic Consultation often blends in-person support with focused analysis time. The flexibility allows for meaningful observation in the field — and thoughtful plan development afterward.

📝1:00 PM — Writing and revising a Behavior Support Plan.
Not just “reduce behavior.”
But teach a replacement skill.
Increase independence.
Protect dignity.
Improve quality of life.

💻3:00 PM — Virtual meeting with a family.
We talk about sleep routines.
About triggers.
About small wins that matter more than people realize.

There are no “quick fixes” in Therapeutic Consultation.
There is assessment.
There is collaboration.
There is data.
There is compassion.

Every day looks different.

📉Sometimes it’s analyzing ABC data.
👨‍🏫Sometimes it’s modeling how to prompt safely.
🎉Sometimes it’s celebrating that a transition happened without tears for the first time in months.

👎Therapeutic Consultation isn’t 1:1 therapy.
👍🏾It’s system-level support.
👏It’s coaching.
🤝It’s building sustainable strategies across environments.

❓It’s asking:
What is this person trying to communicate?
⁉️And how do we help them succeed?

At PosAbilities Clinic, our Behavior Consultants partner with families, group homes, and day programs to create meaningful, lasting change — grounded in evidence-based practice and guided by dignity.

Because behavior support should build skills, not just manage crises.

BCBAs — this one’s for you.

If you love ABA but feel boxed in by clinic walls, productivity pressure, or plans that don’t translate to real life, I shared an article you might resonate with.

It’s about Therapeutic Consultation (TC) at PosAbilities—systems-level ABA, real-world settings, caregiver and staff coaching, and behavior support that actually sticks across home, community, and day programs.

This work isn’t about quick fixes.
It’s about quality of life, dignity, and building capacity so teams feel confident long after we step away.

👉 Read the article
💬 DM us directly if you’re curious or want to learn more—no pressure, just a conversation.

Because not all BCBAs want a clinic. Some want to change systems.

For BCBAs who love ABA but want something different… This article breaks down how we approach Therapeutic Consultation at PosAbilities—real settings, real collaboration, real impact. Give it a read and DM me directly if you want to talk or learn more.

📣 We’re looking for an ABA Billing / CentralReach Contractor (Revenue Share – Can Grow into PT Role)

PosAbilities (ABA & Day Support services in Northern VA) is looking for an experienced ABA billing specialist who knows CentralReach and can help us clean up outstanding claims and denials.

This is a 1099 independent contractor role – we are not looking for a billing company or large vendor. We want an individual who can:

Log into CentralReach
Review aging claims & denials
Fix errors and submit corrected/replacement claims
Help us put simple systems in place to reduce denials going forward

💰 Compensation:
Instead of an hourly rate, this role is paid as a percentage of revenue collected – starting with recovered claims you help correct and submit. The exact percentage will be agreed upon based on claim aging, experience and scope.

🕒 Flexible hours, remote work is possible, and there is room for this to grow into a billing position for the right person.

✅ We’re looking for someone who:

Has ABA billing experience (denials, resubmissions, corrected claims)
Has hands-on CentralReach billing experience
Is detail-oriented, organized, and comfortable working from a backlog

If this sounds like you (or someone you know), please reach out! 💙

Sharing the Trustees’ Open Letter because we support a calm, kids-first path for the Paxton Campus.

A few things can be true at once: The Arc of Loudoun has helped many families; the Paxton Trust has invested for years to steward this place; and our neighbors—including trustee Paige Buscema—are people trying to do right by children with special needs.

My ask: please read the letter, assume good intent, and keep comments neighborly. I’m supporting the trustees’ plan to open the campus to more partners so it can reach more children—while honoring the good that’s brought us here.
