work shaped by experience
Everyone deserves meaningful support throughout their entire life.
After nearly two decades working in Applied Behavior Analysis across homes, clinics, schools, residential programs, and community settings, founder Sumiye Jarreau-Horton repeatedly encountered the same challenge. While tremendous resources exist for children, adults with developmental disabilities often experience fewer services, fewer supports, and fewer options.
SJH Behavioral Consulting was created to build what's missing.
Today, we provide behavioral consultation, staff training, and evidence-based support that helps individuals, families, and organizations move toward meaningful and lasting change.
Our Mission
SJH Behavioral Consulting exists to close the gap between where individuals are and where they want to be. Through expert ABA-based consultation and training, we equip families, caregivers, and support teams with practical tools, effective strategies, and the confidence to create lasting change.
Our Vision
Our vision is to raise the standard of support available to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. We believe adults deserve access to high-quality behavioral services throughout their lives, and we are committed to helping families, organizations, and support professionals build sustainable, compassionate, and effective systems.
Our Values
Every Person Deserves to Be Heard
Real partnership starts with listening. Every individual deserves autonomy, choice, and a voice in decisions about their own life.
Progress Looks Different for Everyone
Every individual and every team is different. We take time to understand before offering solutions.
Genuine Collaboration
The best outcomes happen when families, caregivers, and professionals work together, even when the work is hard.
Inclusion in Practice
People deserve meaningful places in their communities, workplaces, and relationships.
Transparency Over Sugarcoating
We do not shy away from the hard stuff. We name what is working, what is not, and what needs to change, because honesty is what makes lasting partnership possible.
People Thrive When They Are Genuinely Understood
Real understanding takes time, attention, and a willingness to look past behavior to see the person underneath it.
