This company did not start in an office. It started in my kitchen.
My wife had friends over. They were talking about their kids and the daily chaos that comes with parenting. The questions were practical: routines, bedtime battles, transitions, meltdowns, constant negotiation, and the feeling of walking on eggshells.
I was a BCBA. I knew behavior analysis works. I also knew something that gets lost in the noise:
ABA is the science of behavior. If someone behaves, ABA can help. Remote BCBA Supervision
The kitchen classes grew, then strangers started showing up
The weekly kitchen classes spread. Friends told friends. Then friends of friends reached out. Then people I had never met wanted in.
That is when it hit me: this was not just a nice idea. It was a real unmet need.
Families wanted practical behavior support, and they either:
did not qualify for insurance-funded ABA because of diagnosis requirements
were stuck on waitlists that dragged on forever
hit barriers that made getting help feel impossible
Culpeper Baptist Church stepped in
Once strangers started showing up, we needed a bigger space. Culpeper Baptist Church in Culpeper, Virginia stepped up and let us use their facility so the classes could keep going.
Then a winter day changed everything.
It snowed enough that it was unsafe to drive. I walked to the church anyway, assuming nobody would come.
Most families still showed up.
Some drove up to two hours each way for that one-hour weekly class.
That was the moment I realized:
The need was bigger than I thought.
The format had to, again, be changed
So I moved the classes online and moved from a group format to all one-on-one meetings with each family and a remote BCBA Supervision company was born.
How a kitchen class turned into a model for remote BCBA supervision
The online shift opened the door for what exists today: a remote model where trainees from across the country collect fieldwork hours with us and meet with real families one-on-one through telehealth. Remote BCBA Supervision
Trainees do not just get hours. Their supervision fees fund access.
Families who would sit on waitlists for years can get support now.
