I have had the pleasure of working with Katherine for the past several years. I find her approach to working with children, families, and educational staff effective and well-received by all team members. Her realistic approach and ability to connect and communicate with others are the keys to her success. I recommend her services without reservation to any school district seeking improvement in their special education programs.

Katherine developed appropriate plans to support student behavior in the classroom while also supporting staff so they could properly implement the plans. She is one of the most effective BCBAs I have worked with over the course of my 20-year career in education.

Katherine is a true professional who gives staff and students the tools they need to be successful. In IEP meetings, she always had a way of making parents feel more comfortable and seemingly less anxious, even in really tense situations.

I’ve worked with Katherine for four years in a New Jersey public school district. Katherine has shown an incredible ability to address a wide range of behavioral challenges including students with emotional disabilities and students on the autism spectrum. Once a student has been assigned to Katherine’s caseload, the family and staff all breathe a sigh of relief as we know that we are bound to see a significant improvement in the child’s behavior. Katherine is a strong member of the IEP team and collaborates with all team members including the school team and families. Katherine has been a strong advocate for all students and helps the team develop programs for each student. She analyzes each student’s IEP and inputs high quality behavioral interventions and individual goals for each student. She meticulously trains our school staff in carrying out detailed student behavior plans. She is known to maintain close communication with all parties involved including relevant medical professionals. Katherine gives students, family and staff as much time as they need to explain the details of the intervention plans and answer any questions they may have. She is empathetic, listens, and truly cares.

Katherine has taught me everything I know about ABA… literally! I did not know that the teaching position I had accepted was an ABA classroom until Katherine walked in to go over my programs with me in September. She remained patient and calm as fear washed over my face and I told her “I don’t know anything about ABA! I can’t do this!” Throughout the 3.5 years that I worked with Katherine she explained ABA in a way that made me buy into it. She made it easy to understand and was patient when I would mess things up. She taught me the importance of data and data-driven instruction. She is great at working with staff and family members because she is able to take her deep knowledge of ABA and explain it in such a way that even those of us who are first year teachers with no background knowledge can understand it and feel empowered to use it.

Olivia called me ‘Mommy’ a few times today, which seemed so far off just a few weeks ago. You truly helped make my Mother’s Day, and I will be forever grateful.

I sit in hundreds of IEP meetings a year, and I’ve never heard a BCBA explain a behavior plan in a way that made such perfect sense.

Our son had been in a private school for kids with autism until first grade. Katherine’s persistence and out-of-the-box ideas allowed us to integrate him back into his home school, where he’s been now for 3 years. We’re incredibly grateful.

I’ve never learned so much (or laughed so hard!) during an in-service presentation. Katherine’s style of training is so natural and engaging. I’m actually looking forward to the next session!

It is beyond refreshing to see a BCBA that is so involved and dedicated not only with her clients but with her employees as well.
