    About Me

    Joy Johnson, M.Ed., M.S., BCBA, LBA

    I am a Behavior Analyst, Inclusion Specialist, and Autism Advocate who partners with organizations, individuals, and families to improve the lives of  Autistic people. After spending years working in clinical settings, non-profits, and schools, my experience enables me to truly serve  and represent Autistic community members in various contexts. I hold a Masters in education, a Masters in psychology with a specialization in ABA, and I am currently a PhD  student .

    In addition to my extensive education and  professional experiences, I have a great deal personal experience. I am Autistic  myself, which provides me with a unique perspective, knowledge, and source of passion.  


    Treatment Focus

    My focus is to help Autistic people develop awareness  and recognize the value in their differences. My aim being to help individuals learn to embrace their differences in manner that allows them to successfully navigate the world yet remain authentically themselves. In doing this I also aim to discover strategies that address  challenges, while allowing individuals  to  become aware of their strengths, realize their potentials, and improve their quality of life. Additionally,  I  always hold  the mission of promoting neurodiversity,  facilitating  acceptance  and  inclusion via a spectrum of support services I  provide to individuals, families, and organizations.

    Client Promise

    I vow  to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to help you grow from your challenges, recognize your strengths, and discover effective  strategies, to improve current  practices. As  a  member  of  the  autism community,  I am committed to the  promotion of neurodiversity  and  offer a variety of effective and ethical support services that align with Autistic culture and values.   I hold  a person centered  philosophy  and do not recommend  nor  participate in the  targeting  of  behaviors  for the sole  benefit of  others.  I also do not recommend  or  participate in the targeting of behaviors  that do not truly impact  quality of life ( i.e. self stimulatory behaviors that  do  not  involve self -injury,  harm,  or aggression).
