Beacon Behavior Services is led by Susan Savant, PhD, BCBA, who brings a perspective you don't often find in behavior support - she's both a scientist and an educator at heart. With a doctorate in Education and board certification as a Behavior Analyst, Susan approaches challenging behaviors not just as problems to manage, but as communication and learning opportunities to understand. Over the past decade, she's worked with individuals across all ages and settings - from preschools to residential homes, from families navigating early intervention to employment programs supporting adults with complex needs.

What sets her apart is how she translates evidence-based practices into strategies that actually fit real life. She builds relationships first, listens carefully to what families and caregivers are experiencing, and creates individualized plans that respect where people are starting from. Her educational background means she sees behavior through a teaching lens - every intervention is an opportunity to build new skills, not just reduce problems. If you're looking for someone who combines clinical expertise with genuine compassion and practical wisdom, you're in the right place.
