Do you have a neurodivergent child that struggles with environments like the doctor, the dentist, restaurants, or church?

In the latest episode of our Parent Training series, you can learn the skills to help your child through HABITUATION.

TLBA Kyle Strunk walks parents through the steps of using habituation for de-sensitization. With help from his friend Axel, Kyle demonstrates how parents can slowly introduce aversive stimuli to help make it less scary for their kids.

Meet Rachel Gray! Rachel is a BCBA in Louisville.

Rachel has been passionate about disability advocacy for as long as she can remember. Her older sister, Emily, who has Down Syndrome, has been the biggest influence in Rachel’s choice to pursue a career serving the disabled community. Rachel earned her undergraduate degree in Exceptional Children’s Education from WKU and spent eight years as an elementary special educator in JCPS. During that time, she was fortunate to work with incredible students, families, instructional assistants, and school staff—experiences that shaped her into the clinician she is today. Rachel found herself especially drawn to the behavioral and life-skills aspects of my students’ growth, which led her to pursue a Master’s in Behavior Analysis, originally intending to stay within the school system. It was then that she met a now very dear friend, Stephanie, who introduced Rachel to the clinical world and ABA- LLC. That path inspired her to take the leap, and she is now a proud BCBA, working alongside new clients, families, and support teams.
Outside of work, Rachel loves spending time with her husband, Dylan, their daughter, Reese, and their sweet doggo, Bruce. You can also find Rachel connecting with friends through book clubs and exploring everything Louisville has to offer, from U of L athletics to concerts on the Waterfront and all the neighborhood festivals!

“I take pride in building strong rapport not only with my clients, but also with the teams that play such a crucial role in their success. I feel most fulfilled when collaboration comes to life—when a team contributes to the behavior support plans I develop and implements strategies with confidence. Seeing clients achieve their goals as a result of that teamwork is incredibly rewarding. Nothing compares to the calls or texts from teams and clients celebrating their wins—it’s the best part of what I do!”

We’re happy to have you, Rachel! Thank you for everything you do.

November 1st is Dia de los muertos…or, the Day of the Dead. 💀
This celebration has its origins in Mexican culture, though it has come to be celebrated in several locations all around the globe! The Day of the Dead is a day to honor and remember the family and friends who came before us. Though death is often a heavy subject in our culture, this is not a holiday of sadness or darkness. It is a time of laughter, remembering good memories, eating good food, and praying for those we love.
