Michelle Hausman, M.A., BCBA, LBA, is a natural nurturer to clients, their parents, and staff alike. Affectionally known as “Mama Michelle,” she quickly puts everyone at ease while maintaining a consistent, evidence-based approach to therapy. 

Michelle always knew she wanted to work with kids with special needs, but didn’t settle into ABA until later in her professional career. Because of her experiences in a military household, military families raising children with autism hold a special place in Michelle’s heart. She also loves working with all early learners, knowing that ABA at a young age helps build the foundation for greater independence in the future. Most importantly, she enjoys forming meaningful connections with kids, making learning fun and engaging through play and laughter. 

Michelle received her Masters in Special Education from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and later her BCBA. She is married to her high school sweetheart, Gary. They are now empty nesters who enjoy gardening, traveling to visit their kids on the East Coast, and hanging out with their dog.
