"Who We Are"
At Innovating Behaviors, we are a team of dedicated professionals committed to improving the lives of children and families through high-quality behavioral services. Founded in September 2021 in Modesto, California, our organization was built on a shared belief that meaningful change begins with compassion and collaboration.
Our founders recognized the growing need for ethical, accessible, and individualized ABA therapy in the Central Valley. What began as a small team with a big vision has grown into a trusted provider known for its professionalism, consistency, and family-centered approach.
We specialize in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy, using evidence-based strategies to help children build communication, independence, and social skills. Every program is guided by data, compassion, and a deep respect for the families we serve.
Providers we work with
- Valley Mountain Regional Center (VMRC)
- Health Plan of San Joaquin (HPSJ)
Our Mission
Provide high quality behavioral services based on the principles and practices of Applied Behavior Analysis in order to improve the quality of life of individuals and their families.
