“I attribute almost
all of [the child's]
ability to excel to Sarah.”
“She had an assessment and saw what was leading to these behaviors and she hit the nail on the head. Sarah sat with [the child] and helped her to think backward to retrain the child's mind to be able to think instead of just acting on her emotions right away. It was a really, really cool thing to watch and learn from.”

What is Applied Behavioral Analysis? (ABA)
ABA isn’t therapy, it’s an actionable approach to changing unwanted behaviors—typically used to help families struggling with tricky child behavior. It combines science-backed strategies with real-world practicality, making behavior change simple, sustainable, and stress-free.
You know you need an ABA approach to parenting if you’re:
Struggling with making parenting changes that stick
Tired of receiving endless advice with no actionable steps toward progress
Overwhelmed and stressed because nothing you’ve tried seems to work
Seeking a better system that supports you right where you are, even with a demanding job and/or busy schedule
Hi, I’m Sarah Welsh, a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst
A little bit about me: I’ve worked in early childhood education for over a decade! As the oldest of 12 siblings, it was an easy segue into adulthood and my career. I received a bachelor's degree in child and youth studies and a master’s degree in Education with a focus on Applied Behavior Analysis from The Ohio State University.
Now a parent of a little one, I know from first-hand experience how difficult it is to change one's parenting approach. You can’t just jump to the top of the staircase. You need to take each step one at a time to make lasting changes. ABA methodology has improved my own and my clients' lives.
Raising a healthy, capable child is one of the hardest things a person can do, but it’s every parent’s dream. If you’re looking to implement positive, thoughtful parenting techniques but continue to run into challenges, let’s talk.
I help families break free from habits and routines that hold them back. I’ll meet you right where you are to create a personalized, evidence-based plan that leads to lasting change. No quick fixes, just real progress.
