I founded this company on one goal, helping families achieve a healthy relationship with their children. My mission is to encourage positive parenting techniques to assist children in communicating their needs effectively while aiding them in building successful social relationships.
I want to help families feel confident in how they raise their children. And for their children to feel confident in being able to advocate for themselves as they make decisions in their everyday lives.
I must assure families that their parenting experience is separate from another family's. Every child is unique, and what works for one child may differ. There is no need for "mom guilt" or guilt in general because parenting is the family's experience. The Behavior Corner, LLC is only here to enhance those experiences using evidence-based methods.
Excited for your journey,
Tawana
Our Philosophy
At The Behavior Corner, LLC, every day, we work to establish a community where people are empowered with the tools necessary to start and maintain healthy relationships. We understand that families encounter difficulties and may require assistance in ensuring their family dynamic remains strong, and that is why we are here. This is why we have developed a passion for working with families and assisting them with their children. We work with families who have children with developmental disabilities and those without. That is why we foster an inclusive environment. We aim to ensure all children are accepted and welcomed into communities, regardless of their differences. We want to support all families, no matter how big or small their battle.
"Meeting Tawana was an overdue and really insightful time. She asked the right questions to get to the root of my 18 month old behaviors. I was afraid to talk about my "bad mom habits" like still breast feeding my child, but she was a great listener and helped me strategize for healthier habits."

"One of the biggest challenges children and adults face is knowing how to establish relationships with others where their needs are being met while not fracturing the relationship they are building. For this very reason, this company is led by professionals passionate about using evidence-based practices to help communities support their families in meeting their goals, keeping in mind the child's needs as well. Our professionals work with the family unit as a whole with a peaked interest in understanding the community that they are in because they are aware that the community often shapes the individuals they work with. They work as a unit combined with behavior analysts, consultants, and facilitators. All with a drive to use their expertise to make clinical decisions in the best interest of the individuals they serve."
