FOUNDED ON BIG HEARTS AND A DESIRE TO SERVE OTHERS.
ALLOW US TO INTRODUCE OURSELVES.
Our founder, Kate, had been brewing this concept in her heart and mind for almost two decades. Always knowing she wanted something that would make an impact on the quality of ABA services being provided. Kate wanted to help tiny humans and their families really thrive by creating a safe learning environment rich in play, collaboration, and support.
Roots were planted in Kansas City giving her the ability to have an active role in client and family care. The Behavior Project opened their doors to their first client in the summer of 2018 and continues to be a supportive place of community. Because, as we all know….. #ItTakesAVillage.
As a comprehensive team, we’re here to provide all we can for your family. That’s why we offer a wide range of services from intensive 1:1 ABA clinic services for children on the autism spectrum, parent support, assessment and school/community collaboration. If it’s insurance that’s got you worried, don’t fear, we’ll walk you through the process step-by-step. (P.S. We accept all major private insurance and KS Medicaid plans too!)
Our goal is to give the best quality of life and greatest chance of being integrated into a school setting for families with young children on the autism spectrum. We do this by implementing research-based therapies, assessment, innovative strategies and by using the tool (and most fun method!) through which all kids learn, PLAY! We genuinely work with you as a team, with you being the leader, to support you throughout the entire therapy and process.
gET TO KNOW OUR FOUNDER
KATE LAMB, BCBA/LBA
Kate’s background in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) began in 2005. Since then, she’s continued to grow her passion for the techniques and knowledge that she knows can truly change the life of a kiddo on the autism spectrum.
Kate received her undergraduate degree in Psychology and a Masters Degree in Autism and Behavior from the University of North Texas, which was the spark that started Kate’s devotion to, and love for, this work. After graduating, she continued to pursue her interest in behavior analysis by taking things to the next level and becoming a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.
Since then, she’s worked in center-based and home-based programs and has been instrumental in developing and implementing curricula. Recently she’s returned to studying and is in the process of obtaining her Ph.D. in Psychology with a specialization in Behavior Analysis. All of this just goes to show that Kate’s passion for working with children on the autism spectrum runs deep, and she is obsessed with helping them and their families address problem behaviors, develop social skills and provide positive behavior supports across all environments.
As a strong leader, Kate believes in using a collaborative approach when working with other professionals and your family to provide the best possible service for all. She believes, at the end of the day, the most important thing is that you and your little one get the best care and knowledge available to have a fully thriving life. When she isn’t working with tiny humans and their families, she enjoys spending time with her wonderful husband and two amazing (but sometimes challenging!) children and feeding her ever-present addiction to learning new things.
We exist to create meaningful changes in the lives of kids with autism and their families through the use of evidence-based practices and dedicated service providers. It’s our commitment and main goal to provide a family-first culture where the needs of the child are always a priority.
To be a gold standard for the highest quality care
To always be on the cutting edge of play-based applied behavior analysis (ABA)
To be THE place where families want to be and providers want to work
The Behavior Project understands the importance of cultural competence and recognizes that each employee, client, and their family have unique needs and experiences. We are committed to providing an environment that is respectful, responsive, and appropriate to each individual’s cultural and linguistic backgrounds. We believe that our commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion not only benefits our team members and clients, but also strengthens our organization and our ability to achieve our mission.
