Kathleen started KBS in 2015. She knew the Autism statistics were increasing, along with children with a background of Trauma and Behavior, but there was a lack of quality ABA therapy that was being provided by a BCBA, in the Ohio Valley. She wanted to be able to provide the children in the Ohio Valley a high quality ABA program, because she feels no child should go without services. KBS has a superior team, who all believe in the mission and core values, that set us apart from other organizations. All team members at KBS, undergo extensive training upon hiring. KBS provides monthly Professional Developments and opportunities for team members to further their knowledge and expertise. We continuously strive to stay on top of the research and different applications of intervention in our field, to best serve the clients we work with.

The Accreditation celebrates exceptional behavioral health providers that excel in the areas of clinical quality, staff satisfaction and qualifications, and consumer satisfaction. KBS has been recognized by the Ohio Secretary of State, Jon Husted, along with the Ohio House of Representatives. Kendall was selected by the BHCOE in 2021 to serve on the first Quality Measurement Peer Panel (QMPP).
