I'm Jacqueline Kinsey, a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA), educator, and Independent Educational Consultant with nearly two decades of experience supporting neurodivergent individuals, families, and educators across school, home, and community settings.
Throughout my career, I've worked as a general education teacher, special education teacher, behavior specialist, special education coordinator, and BCBA. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how students learn, how educational systems operate, and how thoughtful planning can create opportunities for long-term success.
I founded Pivotal Paths Consulting because I saw two important needs.
The first was supporting educators pursuing BCBA certification who wanted high-quality, practical supervision grounded in the realities of school-based practice.
The second was helping neurodivergent adolescents, young adults, and their families navigate the transition to higher education with confidence. Choosing a college is about much more than admissions—it's about finding an environment where a student can learn, grow, advocate for themselves, and thrive.
Whether I'm working with an aspiring behavior analyst or a family preparing for the college journey, my approach is the same: individualized guidance, honest communication, and practical strategies tailored to each person's goals.
I believe educational planning should be ethical, collaborative, strengths-based, and focused on creating meaningful opportunities for the future.
You're passionate about making a greater impact in the lives of your students and are working toward BCBA certification. You want supervision that goes beyond simply checking requirements—you want practical guidance, meaningful feedback, and support applying behavior analysis within real school environments. Whether you're just beginning your fieldwork or looking for a supervisor who understands the unique challenges of education, I'm here to help you build confidence as a future behavior analyst.
Preparing for college can feel overwhelming, especially when considering learning differences, executive functioning, self-advocacy, accommodations, and finding the right campus environment. I partner with students and families to create an individualized college planning process that focuses on strengths, goals, and long-term success. Together, we'll identify colleges where students can thrive academically, socially, and personally.
You're looking for a speaker or consultant who brings practical experience in education, behavior analysis, and neurodiversity. I provide engaging presentations and trainings designed to give educators, school teams, and organizations strategies they can immediately apply to better support students and build more inclusive learning environments.
Whether you're ready to start supervision, plan a PD session, or collaborate on life after high school, I'm here to help. Reach out to discuss how we can work together or head straight to the services that speak to your goals.
