Looking to find out more about Rachel Skinner, Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the author of this website? Well, you have come to the right place! Currently I am residing in Southern Indiana with my husband and son.
I graduated with a Masters degree in Applied Behavior Analysis focusing on Professional Psychology and Organizational Behavior Management from Western Michigan University. Later I went on to receive my limited license to practice psychology in Michigan and obtained board certification as a behavior analyst.
I have over 15 years of experience working with children. I have also worked at three different childcare settings, as a nanny, and in classrooms for children with developmental disabilities.
My graduate coursework incorporated the study of self-management behaviors including not smoking, exercising, and eating habits. My behavioral coursework also involved working with children and adults with developmental disabilities, mental illness and emotional impairments.
After graduation I began working at a developmental center as a Behavior Analyst managing a caseload of adults with developmental disabilities and severe behavioral challenges. From there I spent time in Michigan as a Behavioral Consultant with DOGstar Productions focusing on dog behavior training, while also consulting with families of children and adults with behavioral challenges. Currently, I am working as a Behavioral Consultant for children and adults with developmental disabilities, traumatic brain injuries, and/or severe behavioral disorders/mental illness.
I love what I do and the people I work with, and I am so excited to help even more people through this web site!
