About us

We are a small BCBA-owned private practice who's focus is quality over quantity of care.  We provide direct 1:1 ABA services and integrate small group social skills opportunities for our learners.  

ABOUT ABA

Applied Behavior Analysis, more commonly known as ABA, uses an evidence-based approach to modifying behaviors based on the scientific study of behavior. It is not a curriculum and it is not one size fits all. 

At Behavioral Connect we strive to teach functional behaviors without trying to erase the individuality of our learners. We utilize ABA as a toolbox, equipped with evidence-based practices that are then individualized to fit the needs of each learner and help improve their quality of life.

Behavioral Connect was founded in 2023 by Vanessa Orozco, BCBA, LBA.  Vanessa first learned about Behavior Analysis in 2013 when a loved one was diagnosed with autism and was referred to an ABA clinic for services.  She describes the years that followed as “transformative”, and joined the field as an RBT in 2019.  She has worked with children of various abilities, aged 2-18 and believes equitable teaching is essential for learning.  She became a BCBA in 2022 after obtaining a Master of Arts in Behavior Analysis Practice from Florida Tech and a Bachelor of Science in Sociology from Texas A&M-Central Texas.  A native of Southern California, she has lived in Central Texas for the past 15 years with her husband of 20 years, their two children, and the family dog.  Her favorite pastimes are meditation, professional networking, and traveling.
