Behavior Matters is a small privately owned business headquartered in Eagle River, Alaska. We also have offices in the Florida, Nebraska, and California, and New Jersey. We were established in 2010, at a time when the State of Alaska only had a handful Behavior Analysts, none of which were in private practice. Since that time, Behavior Matters has opened offices in under-served areas. The CEO of t
he company visits each location quarterly to provide training, mentor professionally with staff and lead team building activities. At Behavior Matters we strive to provide the best research-based ABA interventions in a multitude of settings. Behavior Matters offers services in three different states. Our Alaska clinic is located in Eagle River, serving Anchorage & the Mat-Su Valley. Our Nebraska office provides clinic based services for the Greater Omaha area. Our newest office located in northern California provides clinic-based services for the Vacaville and Fairfield areas, and home, clinic and community-based services in the Central Valley. We have a fantastic staff of BCBAs, BCABAs, RBTs and Behavior Technicians.
