📣Hey BCBAs! 📣

Whether you work in a clinic setting, individually with families, educational trainings or in caregiver support only - if you are cutting and pasting entire programming or support goals - you’re missing the mark.

Individualizing care plans means taking each client’s current skill set, instructional history, current social constructs and unique goals into consideration. Just because one plan worked with one child, it doesn’t mean it will automatically work with the next.

Flexibility and adaptability are key! Also, not being too proud to say “Well that didn’t work. Let’s try something new.”

📣 Hey Caregivers 📣
“How can I make sure my child receives individualized care?”

Look for providers who…
🤍 ask questions about your child as an individual - their likes, dislikes and what makes them who they are
🤍 take your families unique dynamics into consideration
🤍 highlight your child’s strengths and not just areas for growth
🤍 explain the WHY behind the plan and not just the HOW

Remember - leave the cookie cutters for the sugar cookies…

✨ A wonderful day at Shine! ✨

My child was evaluated by the school district. Do they need a medical evaluation too?

Here’s a few key differences between a medical diagnosis and an educational diagnosis.

Both support your child in unique ways and I ALWAYS recommend seeking BOTH evaluations to ensure that your child is able to receive all available supports.

✨ Educational Diagnosis: eligible for school-related supports (classroom placement, accommodations, additional therapies during the school day)

✨ Medical Diagnosis: access to private therapies through insurance coverage and qualification for government funded programs

Have questions? I’d love to share more - Shine always offers a FREE consultation call to determine if our services are best for you.

Where Shine all began!

In 2024 the goal was to fill a need in the Katy/Houston areas - to combat lengthy waitlists and high out of pocket costs that were preventing families from accessing life changing services.

As we enter 2026 we have the same goal!

No waitlist, low cost autism evaluations!

Whether you need an initial evaluation or a re-evaluation for continuation of services, we’d love to help!

We service individuals between 18months - adulthood

January 2026 appointments available!

🎊 Happy New Year! 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣6️⃣ 🎊

I hope you had an amazing holiday season filled with love and joy!

I’m so excited to dive into the new year with intentionality…

Intentionality with my time
Intentionality with my family
Intentionality with my work

As you enter 2026, are there aspects of your child’s development that you crave support in? Are you trying to navigate the overwhelming path of special needs? Are you trying to gain access to life changing services but long waitlists and lack of information is delaying this?

Shine Behavior Services would love to support you and your family!

✨Caregiver Support Bundles allow for continual support for 3 months at a time

✨Toileting Bundles allow for tackling toilet training in a supported and individualized program

✨ ADOS-2 assessments bridge the gap of ridiculously long waitlists and help you gain access to life-changing services quicker.

How could we support you in 2026?? We’d love to help!

Hi! 👋🏻

Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve utilized this space and I have missed it! I’m still here, and while this internet space has been quiet, Shine has still been doing some exciting things this year!

I’ve been given opportunities to

✨ complete no waitlist autism evaluations
✨ offer professional development trainings for church programs, private preschools and non profit groups wanting to know how to better serve the families they work with
✨work side by side with individual families overcoming challenges such as toilet training, aggression, lack of independence and more

I remain so grateful for every single family and organization I’ve been able to work with since starting Shine in 2024 and I’m so excited to see what the new year brings.

Stick around for more free resources, Q&A with a BCBA, community meet ups and more!

I’m so glad you’re here 🤍

Forever grateful for the incredible field of behavior analysis and all the amazing families, coworkers and communities I’ve been blessed with in my 11+ years.

I am always challenged, never bored and always confident that this is my dream career.

Thank you for being here! If you ever want to know more about becoming a Behavior Analyst I’d love to share more! 👩🏻‍💻📈🤓
