For 25 remarkable years, Behavioral Innovations has transformed the lives of countless families, but the true heroes of our journey are the extraordinary individuals who bring our mission to life every single day. Our employees are more than team members, they are compassionate changemakers who dedicate their hearts and minds to empowering children and families impacted by autism. Their stories, their passion, and their unwavering commitment have built the foundation of our success.
Behind every smile of a child reaching a milestone and every family finding support, there is an employee who made it possible. Each member of our team, from Behavior Technicians (BTs) to clinical leaders and administrative staff, has a story of resilience and purpose. Their collective efforts reflect the very best of what it means to serve with love and empathy.
At Behavioral Innovations, our strength lies in our diversity. Our team is a vibrant melting-pot of backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences.
Our workforce is 59% Black, Indigenous, or People of Color (BIPOC), and over 80% identify as female, reflecting our belief that varied perspectives strengthen our mission. This diversity is not just a reflection of our values; it is a cornerstone of our success.
We’ve taken meaningful steps to ensure that every voice is heard and valued. Our Human Resources team has launched initiatives that promote inclusivity, provide leadership opportunities to underrepresented groups, and offer ongoing training on cultural competency. Together, we’ve created an environment where every individual feels seen, respected, and empowered.
At the heart of Behavioral Innovations’ ethos is a commitment to growth—not just for the children and families we serve, but for our employees as well. We believe that when our people thrive, our mission thrives.
In the past year alone, we have invested heavily in training, mentorship, and career development programs. Our health and wellness initiatives have expanded to support the physical, emotional, and mental health of every team member. One shining example of our commitment to our team is the Employee Relief Fund, which provides financial assistance to team members facing unexpected hardships, ensuring they feel supported during life’s most challenging moments. These efforts are not just investments in our team; they are investments in our shared future.
As we celebrate this milestone, we also look to the road ahead. Behavioral Innovations was built on the belief that love, compassion, and dedication can change lives, and that belief starts with our team. To every employee who has walked this journey with us, thank you.
Thank you for the countless hours, the late nights, and the moments of triumph and challenge. Thank you for believing in what we do and for being the driving force behind it.
To our future team members, know this: at Behavioral Innovations, you will find more than a career. You will find purpose, community, and the opportunity to change lives every day.
Here’s to 25 years of excellence and to the extraordinary people who made it possible. Together, let us continue to empower lives, one child, one family, and one team member at a time.
