Hi educators and clinicians,
Schools and the therapy field today face unprecedented challenges in supporting students’ academic, behavioral, and emotional needs. Educators and therapists are being asked to respond to increasingly complex behaviors, yet most staff have never been trained in the root causes of trauma, stress, and emotional dysregulation. Without trauma-informed systems in place, students risk falling behind, staff risk burning out, and systems risk perpetuating cycles of exclusion rather than inclusion.
If you are a behavior analyst, explore my self-paced course, “Beyond Behaviors: A Trauma-Informed Lens for Clinicians” , which offers lifetime access and is suitable for both individual and group learning for those within the Applied Behavior Analysis field.

Inclusion Consultation
This consultation is designed to help schools build more compassionate, inclusive, and trauma-informed environments for students. We’ll identify areas where your school may be unintentionally leaving students behind—whether in behavioral approaches, classroom management, or overall school culture—and provide clear, actionable steps to create safe spaces where all students can thrive.
Unlike traditional consulting that only focuses on compliance or surface-level strategies, this approach blends behavioral science, trauma-informed care, and holistic regulation practices. Your school will leave with a deeper understanding of why students behave the way they do and tools that support not only academic success but also emotional safety, belonging, and resilience.

Training & Workshops
This tailored training is built for schools and organizations ready to equip their staff with the knowledge and confidence to respond effectively to stress, behavior, and emotional challenges in their communities. In one comprehensive session, your team will learn practical strategies to support students or clients, prevent burnout, and foster stronger, more compassionate relationships.
Why this is important:
Burnout and disconnect are at an all-time high for educators and helping professionals. Many staff members are asked to manage complex behaviors and emotional needs without ever being taught how. This training fills that gap by giving your team:
Educational knowledge on the why behind behaviors and patterns.
Practical, trauma-informed tools they can use right away in the classroom or workplace.
Supportive frameworks that promote regulation, connection, and resilience—for both staff and the people they serve.
What makes this unique is that it’s not just about “fixing behavior”—it’s about shifting perspectives, building capacity, and empowering staff to create lasting change in their community. The ability to break down the skill sets adults need to learn in order to support their students is rarely addressed.
Previously offered and requested professional trainings include: Building Connection, The Power of Play, Holistic Parent Support, Reframing the Mind, Breathwork as an Intervention, Connecting Trauma and Behavior, Bridging the Gaps Between Trauma and ABA Practices, Creating Trauma-Informed Behavior Intervention Plans, and more.

Mentorship
Mentorship assists you with being your best self-advocate and offers professional development by filling in the gaps where previous supervision and training were missed for those in the ABA field. Behavior Roots also offers specialty training in holistic modalities to add to a professional’s skill repertoire such as trauma-informed practices, ACT, breath work, emotions, and play. In addition, mental and emotional support are prioritized during mentorship as well, as this plays a direct correlation to feeling safe to grow. Whether you are a newly minted BCBA, an RBT, a graduate student, or simply a teacher who desires to utilize ABA strategies in the classrooms more, effective guidance is crucial to your well-being and your professional growth. Services offer individualized support based on your needs as well as a road map plan for your goals. Book your first session at a discounted rate here.
