ABOUT SHANNON

Shannon Hill, Ph.D., BCBA-D, LPC, LBA, is a licensed behavior analyst and licensed professional counselor. She entered the field of developmental disability services as a direct care professional and went on to work as a vocational educator before moving into behavioral supports. She has worked extensively in residential programs, providing services to adults and children with Intellectual Disabilities, Autism, Prader-Willi Syndrome, and a wide range of low-incidence developmental disabilities. She has more than a decade of experience as a consultant working in public school settings, and she has served as an adjunct professor in several university programs. Shannon is passionate about seeing behavior analysis services extended beyond Autism. Her particular interests are using ABA to: support children with ADHD and emotional/behavioral disorders; teach reading and math skills; teach compensatory skills for adults who came of age before widespread early intervention; and to increase the quality of support provided to children and adults in school and residential settings.
