Every day is a great day

Who is Great Day?

Great Day was founded out of the growing realization that being an ABA provider in the current marketplace is HARD.

With tightening insurance regulations, funding challenges to Medicaid, and an operationally challenging care model, it’s more important than ever for leaders to be equipped with the resources they need to run an effective, efficient, and compliant ABA practice.

Great Day provides ABA consulting services aligned with your mission, values, and the passion we all share for this work. We believe in supporting practices to be insightful data-rich operators to improve a whole host of business outcomes including:

  • Clinical Service Quality + Effectiveness

  • Audit-Readiness + Payor Compliance

  • Staff Development + Retention

  • Process + Policy Optimization

  • Operational Effectiveness + Stability

Hi, nice to meet you!

I’m a BCBA with 10+ years of experience in ABA and Healthcare Operations. My clinical career started in home-based services (which I LOVE) and led me to serving as the executive-level clinical operations director for a large multi-state ABA provider.

Since becoming a BCBA in 2018, I’ve specialized in Organizational Behavior Management, applying the principles of ABA to business operations and outcomes. I’ve also completed doctorate level coursework in Industrial/Organizational Psychology where I studied the biggest problems in the ABA service industry and what we can do as accountable providers to solve them.

When away from my desk, I enjoy honing my culinary skills in the kitchen, stand up paddle-boarding, playing video games, and reading far too many fantasy/sci-fi books

“Elle” for short

Elle is my frequently disruptive co-worker who may or may not attend meetings depending on her other job duties which include:

  • Great Day office security (AKA barking at squirrels in the backyard)

  • Company culture development (AKA scritches)

  • Employee wellness (AKA walk times)
