Julie Ashkenazi, M.S., BCBA, LBA
I partner with families, attorneys, advocates, and school teams to support learners in educational settings by providing comprehensive behavior assessments and collaborative, evidence-based consultation. I earned a B.A. from Dominican University and an M.S. in Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) from Endicott College, where I completed my degree with a concentration in autism. In addition to my clinical work, I collaborate with researchers, practitioners, and interdisciplinary professionals on educational content development, applied research, and other initiatives that promote equitable, inclusive behavior-analytic practices.

I also contribute to initiatives that support the evolution of the field. I co-founded the Neurodivergent-Affirming ABA Listserv, which brings together neurodivergent individuals, parents, and professionals to promote neurodiversity-affirming behavior-analytic practices. I previously served as an Adjunct Assistant Instructor at the University of North Texas and as a Research Consultant with the Center for Autism Advocacy: Research, Education, and Supports (CAARES) at SUNY Empire State University.

I hold licensure as a Licensed Behavior Analyst (LBA) in New York and North Carolina and am an active member of several professional organizations, including the Association of Professional Behavior Analysts (APBA), the California Association for Behavior Analysis (CalABA), and the Council of Parent Attorneys and Advocates (COPAA).

My work is driven by a commitment to ethical, evidence-based, and neurodiversity-affirming behavior-analytic practices. My research interests focus on autism, ethics, and improving the quality of behavior-analytic services.
