Kendall Beaird

Compassionate and reliable Registered Behavior Technician with experience supporting children, teens, and adults (ages 0–30) with autism and developmental disabilities in both in-home and clinic settings. I take a child-centered, relationship-based approach and believe behavior is communication. My goal is to create supportive, individualized environments where people can build independence, communication, and meaningful life skills.
