POV: You open your laptop after a fun session…

…and remember you’re also a Clinical Director 😅

Authorizations.
Staffing.
Billing.
Emails.

…and then mom brain kicks in:

Did I pack daycare snacks?
What’s for dinner?
Did I switch the laundry?
Why is there always laundry? 😅

Let me go back to my peaceful little NET session real quick 😂

Direct work will always have my heart 💗

We talk a lot about progress — but sometimes the biggest wins are the small ones.

A smoother transition.
A new word.
A calmer moment.
A routine that felt just a little easier.

This post was inspired by Tanya at — such a good reminder to slow down and celebrate the moments that matter 💕

So tell me…

New parents, seasoned parents, business owner besties, BCBAs, BCaBAs, RBTs …
maybe you’re one of my family members who reads every post but never comments (I see you Michael and Angie) 👀😅

What’s one small win you’ve had this week or maybe shout someone out that you're proud of! 🥳

We’re often asked where we provide services.

Short answer? Everywhere.

While many of our sessions take place in the home setting, we also support in schools (when permitted) and spend a lot of time in the community — because that’s where skills are actually used.

Some of our favorites include:
🛒 Grocery stores.
🛝 Playgrounds.
📚 Libraries.
🏛️ Museums.
🎢 Even amusement parks.

We’re not just teaching skills — we’re helping them show up in real-life moments.

That’s how learning becomes meaningful. And parents, we're right there to support you and help you navigate the fear of the unknowns when going out into the world with your child. 💕

Today we celebrate World Behavior Analysis Day 🧠✨
In honor of B.F. Skinner’s birthday—the roots of everything we do.

At AMA Behavioral Consulting, behavior analysis isn’t just science… it’s connection, compassion, and showing up for our kids in the moments that matter most.

From first words to to first waits
From big feelings to meaningful communication
From “no” to “I need help”

We’re not just changing behavior—we’re building skills that last a lifetime.

And if we’re doing it right… we’re doing it in a way that would make Skinner proud 🤍
By honoring the science AND the child in front of us.

Because every small moment (like this one ✋) is where learning happens.

It's time to fess up.... Every family has one.

That time of day where transitions feel harder and patience runs a little thinner 😅 In this house, if Mickey is not coming with us then I'm not going (should I share my collection of Mickey in the wild pictures)?

For you is it:
Morning?
After school?
Dinner?
Bedtime?
Homeschool transitions?
Independent play struggl es?

Tell me yours 👇

I’ll share tools from my toolbox next week to help make those moments smoother. The benefits of having a behavior bestie in your back pocket 😉

This isn’t my usual post—but it felt very needed as we start this Monday.

Waking up on a Monday to run an ethical, clinically sound, quality-led business is hard work.
It’s even harder when you’re a mom… and a perfectionist… in EVERY area of your life.

Some Mondays feel heavy before the coffee even kicks in.
So here are my Monday wishes (for myself) and for my fellow small business owners doing this work with integrity:

✨ May our authorizations get approved without endless back-and-forth
📞 May insurance calls be answered quickly and clearly
👥 May our teams feel supported, show up, and feel valued
📈 May our clinical decisions stay ethical, data-driven, and human (may CR not crash like it did last week)
💗 May we receive reinforcement for striving to be thoughtful, fair, and present leaders

If this resonates, you’re not alone. I see you!
Happy Monday 🤍

This is the POV of my new office manager while I’m explaining Medicaid challenges for the first time 😅🔥

Denials.
Delays.
Retro authorizations.
State processing timelines.
Resubmissions.
Follow-up calls.
And then… more follow-up calls.

It’s not always simple. But we don’t back down.

Being a spicy Latina-owned ABA company means resilience is part of our DNA. When there are barriers, we problem-solve. When there are delays, we advocate. When something gets denied, we review it, fix it, and resubmit. Because our families deserve that level of persistence.

And truthfully, that mindset didn’t start in business. It started with my mami 🥰

She raised me to never give up, to keep pushing when things felt complicated, and to always help others — even when it’s hard.

“Mija, pa’ lante. Siempre hay manera. Tú resuelve.”

That’s the energy I bring into this company every single day 💃🏽

Huge shoutout to Danielle who was on the receiving end of this full crash course and handled it like a champ 💗 You leaned in, asked thoughtful questions, and stayed solution-focused the entire time. I appreciate YOU!

And I am so grateful for Jocelyn and Exceptional Billing Services for helping us navigate the back end of it all. Esto es trabajo en equipo de verdad. Advocacy takes systems, persistence, and strong partners.

We’re building something resilient here — rooted in corazón, community, and that “pa’ lante” mindset. Let’s go!

💡Parenting Tool 💡 Visual supports can completely transform your child’s day — not just make routines easier, but give confidence, predictability, and smoother transitions. 👇

From our blog on Everyday ABA Strategies Parents Can Use at Home, one of the most powerful tools is a visual schedule — a simple picture or icon chart that shows what happens next in the day. This helps reduce anxiety, improve understanding, and support independence. 

Here are a few visual tools we love for home routines:
✨ Visual schedules & picture charts (breakfast ➜ playtime ➜ school)
✨ Morning and bedtime checklists
✨ Choice boards to support communication
✨ Timers to help with transitions
✨ Behavior tracking sheets to celebrate progress

These tools gently guide expectations and help skills transfer from therapy into daily life — which is exactly what we mean by generalization. 

📖 Want ideas for how to use these in real routines (like mornings, bedtime, or transitions)? Check out the full blog (linked in bio and below) for step-by-step guidance and practical examples.

🛍️ If you’d like to explore the visual supports and tools we recommend, they’re linked in the blog — and some of those links are affiliate links that help support our work at no extra cost to you. 💕

❓FAQ❓We’re often asked if parent support is required.

At AMA, the answer is yes — because we believe skills should live beyond session hours.

Generalization matters.
If a skill only works when a provider is present, it’s not enough.

We focus on helping families feel confident using strategies in real life — during routines, sibling moments, transitions, and everyday challenges.

Parent support isn’t about perfection.
It’s about partnership.
It’s about building tools that align with your values and your vision for your child.

When families feel confident, progress feels sustainable.

If you’re interested in learning more about our parent support services, we’d love to connect.

Schedule a meeting with one of our BCBAs to talk through your goals and see if this would be a good fit for your family 💕
