Lauren Ross is a proud member of a rare group—one of fewer than 500 professionals dually certified as both a Speech-Language Pathologist (SLP) and Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA). In 2022, she founded Precision Therapy, a Medicaid-funded therapeutic consultation service designed to deliver impactful, client-centered care.

Her innovative model blends naturalistic developmental behavioral interventions (NDBIs) with hands-on caregiver training to support meaningful, individualized goals. What sets Lauren apart is her commitment to serving individuals beyond the “services cliff,” working with clients across the lifespan—including adults well into their 80s!

Through a thoughtful combination of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), collaboration, and ongoing data-driven planning, Lauren and her team create customized support plans that fit both the client’s goals and the caregiver’s capacity.

At the heart of her work is the belief that true progress lies in generalization—the ability to apply learned skills in real-life settings. By using naturalistic interventions embedded in daily routines, Lauren helps adults not just build skills but live them.
