​Functional Behavior Solutions, under the direction of Jill Saxon, PhD, BCBA-D, provides behavioral coaching, consultation, and ABA services to families and schools. Our focus is on children with autism, feeding challenges, behavioral challenges, ADHD, and anxiety symptoms. Beyond targeting individual behaviors, we work with families to improve the skills and overall quality of life of their child. We do this through pragmatic, evidence-based treatment and consultation based on the principles of ​Applied Behavior Analysis, infusing traditional behavior analysis with Acceptance and Commitment Training to build connections and improve outcomes.

Areas of Specialty

CHILD-DIRECTED SERVICES

Using games, activities, metaphors, and lots of opportunities to practice, we work directly with children and teens to build skills and improve their willingness to do hard things in order to live a life that they love.

PARENT COACHING & CONSULTATION

We work collaboratively with parents to identify what is getting in their child’s way and to support their children’s growth as well as to improve their parenting and their connection with their child.

SUPPORT FOR CHILDREN IN SCHOOLS

We help parents identify and advocate for appropriate support and services for their child by reviewing IEPs and 504 plans, conducting preschool and school observations, and collaborating with school staff. ​

BEHAVIORAL FEEDING THERAPY

We utilize compassionate, evidence-based strategies to increase children's willingness to try new foods, expand their food repertoire, and improve family meals.
