Hi! I’m Joan Majano.

I’m a mother, BCBA, servant leader, mentor, and advocate for families and individuals with autism (& other related disorders).

My experience in the ABA field began in 2016 but my earliest memory of interacting with a person with special needs was when I was in kindergarten. I have provided services in the clinic, home, school, and community settings with individuals as young as 18 months up to 28 years old. I have held positions as a behavior technician, clinical supervisor, regional supervisor, and clinical director.

The various roles I’ve held in the field have led me to work with various professionals and dozens of families. I’ve witnessed the growing need for resources and services that are compassionate and empowering. My goal is to provide individualized, high quality, compassionate and collaborative ABA services to families and individuals so they can be empowered to live their lives in their most meaningful way.

Please feel free to contact me to see how I can support you and your family.

My Approach

I start with a brief phone call to identify your needs and confirm that I’m able to provide the appropriate service. If so, we’ll set up an intake assessment to discuss you or your child’s strengths and areas of need, and priorities for treatment. An initial treatment plan will be developed with a recommendation of treatment. This will either be submitted to your insurance for authorization or a private pay agreement will be made.

Empowerment for the individual and their caregiver

My goal is to give you and your child the skills and resources that can help improve your quality of life.

Compassionate care in all aspects

I focus on the emotional well-being of my clients and families. Treatment is individualized and aims to provide meaningful support.
