Aligned Behavior Method LLC

Hi, I’m Mychelle Smith, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA—the founder of Aligned Behavior Method and someone who genuinely loves making behavior support feel less complicated. Before becoming a BCBA, I worked in special education, so I understand that progress has to make sense beyond the therapy table. I’m big on practical strategies, honest communication, celebrating the small wins, and making sure families understand the why behind the plan. My style is warm, direct, and collaborative. I can laugh with you, meet your child exactly where they are, and still be very serious about delivering high-quality care. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all treatment or making families feel like they need a clinical dictionary to participate. We’ll create goals that fit your child, your routines, and your real life. At ABM, families aren’t just receiving a service—they’re gaining a partner who listens, follows through, and cares about getting it right. Good energy. Clear plans. Meaningful progress.

Mychelle Smith, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, is the founder of Aligned Behavior Method (ABM) and is passionate about making behavior support feel practical, approachable, and meaningful for families.

Before becoming a BCBA, she worked in special education, giving her a strong understanding of the importance of helping children make progress that extends beyond the therapy setting and into everyday life.

Mychelle's approach is warm, direct, and collaborative. She emphasizes practical strategies, honest communication, celebrating small wins, and helping families understand the "why" behind each treatment plan. She believes effective care should never be one-size-fits-all or require families to navigate complicated clinical language to be involved in their child's progress.

At ABM, Mychelle works closely with families to create individualized goals that fit each child's strengths, routines, and real-life needs. She is committed to being a trusted partner who listens, follows through, and genuinely cares about helping each child and family experience meaningful progress.
