Autism Jumpstart, LLC provides clinical behavior analytic consultation for families seeking thoughtful, relationship-centered support grounded in evidence-based practice. Led by Carrie Woodward, M.S., BCBA—who has been in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis since 2002—Autism Jumpstart specializes in working with infants at risk and newly diagnosed toddlers, coaching parents to support early social engagement and communication through a naturalistic, play-based model. Consultation also includes supporting families of older children who engage in behaviors of concern, using functional behavior assessment to understand the purpose those behaviors serve and to identify meaningful skills and repertoires that can be strengthened to reduce reliance on challenging behavior. Carrie has extensive expertise in verbal behavior and in establishing functional communication for children who previously had little to no meaningful communication. Across all services, a trauma-informed, compassionate approach is central, with a strong emphasis on collaboration, parent empowerment, and aligning intervention with a child’s developmental needs and family values.
