About
My name is Rachael Young, M.Ed BCBA
Welcome to NeurospicyBCBA Education!
​
Hi everyone! I'm Rachael Young, the founder of Neurospicy Education and a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. I hold a Master’s degree in Education, specializing in Applied Behavior Analysis from Arizona State University, and I'm currently advancing my expertise by pursuing a PsyD in Clinical Psychology. With over a decade of enriching professional experiences and a deep personal connection to neurodiversity, I am thrilled to guide you through our Continuing Education Units (CEUs).
My journey in behavior analysis is profoundly personal. Diagnosed with Tourette’s and ADHD at the age of eight, and autism at thirty, I have navigated both challenges and discoveries that have significantly shaped my approach to mental health and therapeutic practices. These experiences inspire my commitment to empathy, understanding, and inclusivity in the behavior analytic community.

Our courses are crafted to explore interventions and ethics in underexplored areas, ensuring that every learning experience is not only informative but also transformative
.
We are committed to making our educational content accessible and affordable, aiming to foster an empathetic and effective practice of behavior analysis. Through our engaging online platform and vibrant social media presence, we invite behavior analysts to embrace a neurodiverse-informed approach to their work, enhancing their professional impact and personal growth.
Our Mission
​
Guided by my experiences and ongoing doctoral studies, Neurospicy Education endeavors to infuse the behavior analytic community with innovative, research-backed practices aligned with person-centered and OBM principles. We strive to create a supportive learning environment that encourages the integration of cutting-edge behavioral health strategies with profound respect for neurodiversity.
​
As an educator and clinician, my role extends beyond teaching. I aim to mentor and inspire, whether through direct instruction or shaping the next generation of professionals through interactive webinars and insightful blog contributions. My philosophy is deeply rooted in the belief that understanding our differences enhances our abilities to provide supportive and effective interventions.
Join Us!

As we proceed with our courses, I look forward to not only imparting knowledge but also fostering a community where open dialogue, shared experiences, and a collaborative spirit prevail. We are here to learn from each other, challenge the conventional, and ultimately, improve our practices to better serve and empower the neurodiverse community.
