I provide behavior and special education consulting to school districts, campuses, educators, and families. Through practical, evidence-based strategies rooted in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), I help educators address behavioral challenges, strengthen instruction, and establish structured systems that support student success in special education classrooms. I also partner with families to navigate behavioral challenges at home and develop practical strategies and systems that build consistency, support positive behavior, and help children develop functional skills.
About Me
Hi, I’m Olivia Coleman, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a master’s degree in Special Education and Applied Behavior Analysis and over 13 years of experience in special education.
My career began as a special education teacher in a Structured LIFE Skills program, where I worked with students with intellectual disabilities and autism. I later became a Lead Structured LIFE Skills Lead Teacher for my district, coaching and supporting special education teachers in implementing effective instructional and behavior strategies in their own classrooms.
Today, I provide consultation and training to families, educators, and school staff. I partner with parents in their homes to develop practical strategies that build consistent routines, strengthen functional communication, promote independence, and support positive behavior. I also partner with schools and educators through classroom coaching, behavior consultation, and professional development.
My goal is to bridge the gap between evidence-based ABA practices and their practical application in everyday life. I strive to equip parents and educators with effective, realistic strategies they can confidently use to help their children and students build functional skills and be successful.
Consulting Services
In-Home Behavior Support
Receive personalized in-home parent coaching and behavior support tailored to your child and your family’s everyday needs
1. Consultation & Observation
We begin with a phone or virtual consultation to discuss your concerns and child's needs. This is followed by an in-home observation, where I observe your child in their natural home environment.
2. Hands-On Parent Coaching
Following the observation, I develop an individualized action plan based on your child’s needs and your family’s goals. I create any necessary visual supports and materials, then work alongside you to model strategies, provide hands-on training, and offer feedback to help you confidently implement strategies in your daily routines at home.
