ABOUT US

Wholehearted Compassion and Commitment

Jill-Nicole Armstrong, M.S.SE, BCBA, LBA

I am a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Licensed Behavior Analyst in the State of Alaska. With more than 15 years in the Special Education and Human Services fields, I have a unique understanding of the challenges faced by individuals and families as they actively seek the right services to fit their needs. Through my comprehensive experience in both education and complex behaviors, I have supported those seeking services, resources, and guidance, and helped provide the mentoring and coaching necessary for success. Finding what you or your family needs can be extraordinarily difficult. That’s why my mission is simple: Give my clients the education, tools, and resources they need as part of a well-rounded support plan to increase capacity, inclusion, and quality of life.

I moved to Southeast Alaska in 2015 for a teaching position and transitioned into human services - which led me to Behavior Analysis - in 2020. I now live in Ketchikan with my husband, Matt, and couldn't imagine calling anywhere else home. Professionally, I travel the state providing behavior analytic services to individuals, schools, and organizations.
