L/BCBA, PhD.
Owner/Director

Mary Beth earned her BCBA in 2013 and her PhD in Early Childhood Special Education with an emphasis on young children with autism in 2018. She has been working with children with autism, aged Pre-K through high school, for 20 years, including as a Behavior Technician for an in-home ABA program, as a special education teacher, and as an Autism Specialist and BCBA for a local school district. She and Michelle started Creating Connections in 2018 and never looked back.

In her spare time, you can find Mary Beth going on family walks with her husband, two children, and two dogs or paddle boarding on many of the local Kansas City area lakes and rivers. She believes in the power of inclusive learning settings where children of all abilities can play together and learn from one another.
