Jenna Banda, MS, BCBA, is passionate about helping children develop meaningful communication, self-advocacy, and independence skills that will serve them throughout their lives. She believes everyone deserves access to communication and the ability to express what they need, ask for help, and confidently say “no.” For Jenna, assent-based care is an essential part of creating an environment where children feel heard, respected, and empowered to advocate for themselves.

Jenna began her career in ABA as a Behavioral Therapist before becoming a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). She continued to grow within the field as an Apprentice RBT and later became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). Her experience working directly with children throughout each stage of her career has shaped her thoughtful, child-centered approach to care. As Clinic Director, Jenna brings that clinical experience to supporting both the children and families in her care, as well as the team members who work alongside them.

Jenna earned her B.A. in Psychology from Texas State University and her M.S. in Psychology with a specialization in Applied Behavior Analysis from Capella University. She is always thinking about the bigger picture—who each child will become as they grow and what can be done today to help them build independence, confidence, and the skills they need for a successful future. For Jenna, some of the most rewarding moments are seeing a child find their voice, discover their ability to advocate for themselves, and take another step toward greater independence.
