About Virtue
Virtue was founded out of our guiding principle that every child, adult and family should have access to high quality, effective care within Behavioral Health, Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and Autism services, whether in the nonprofit or for-profit sector.
​
We believe access to critical care can be broadened while still sustaining (and even improving!) quality. Scaling does not need to come at the expense of diminishing quality and increasing risk.
​
Organizations have limited resources, and we want to be the extra support you need, rolling up our sleeves and working beside you to ensure your success.
Welcome!
Thanks so much for visiting our page! Virtue was born out of my true passion for Behavioral Health/Intellectual/Developmental Disabilities and Autism services from the viewpoint of a clinician, operator AND a parent of a child who receives services. When my son was diagnosed on the autism spectrum, I had been working in the human services space for over 15 years. I thought navigating and accessing quality services would be simple for us. It was not. Since then, it has been my mission to try and support not only easier access to services, but also quality of care once individuals and families are able to get in the door. I have been able to support organizations by balancing client/clinical needs with operational realities.
When I was a clinical consultant (as a BCBA), I never felt the model of providing information (that usually wasn't user-friendly), sending the client/family out on their own and wishing them good luck was helpful. I felt it was important to give the background information, but then train, model and coach. I still adhere to this hands-on consulting approach, and I hope you will see the difference it makes!

Looking forward to meeting you!
