Andrea Jason, MS, PPS, BCBA

Andrea Jason has over 30 years of experience working in public schools as a General Education Teacher, a School Psychologist, and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). She specializes in trauma, ADHD, and autism and loves to analyze the interplay between behavior and learning. She understands how loving relationships, predictability, and trust create safety, which allows the brain to be vulnerable enough to make mistakes, grow, and find joy in learning.  She recommends teaching strategies that work with the behavior she observes. On the weekends, she enjoys lying in bed and reading, getting into the sunshine, exercising, and having fun with friends and family. When feeling inspired, she makes large amounts of food to share with anyone who will join.
