As Indiana families settle into their summer break schedules, the sudden loss of daily school routines can introduce significant stress and behavioral disruption for children with autism and developmental needs.

SBBC’s Solution

To bridge this gap, School-Based Behavior Consultation (SBBC) is launching a free quarterly caregiver webinar series aimed at helping families transition from simply surviving the summer to helping their children thrive.

The inaugural session, titled “Summer Survival Skills,” will stream live on Wednesday, June 24, 2026, at 6:00 p.m. EDT. The event is free and open to the broader community, not just existing SBBC clients.

Hosted by Jenna Maxwell, BCBA, SBBC’s Director of Clinical Training and Development, the one-hour session will cover essential proactive strategies, including Anchor Routines, Sensory & Calm Spaces, Successful Outings, Meltdown Management, and Flexibility & Fun.

SBBC’s Mission

Founded in 2020 by Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) Kristie Koch, SBBC provides multidisciplinary care—including Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), speech, and occupational therapy—across clinic, home, and school environments.

Koch’s journey into behavior consultation began during her graduate studies at Ball State University, where she worked alongside adults on the autism spectrum.

Driven by a desire to improve the long-term autonomy and quality of life for individuals with neurodiversities, Koch took a temporary 12-week role as a school behavior specialist in Greenfield, Indiana.

SBBC’s philosophy remains rooted in meeting children precisely where their challenges occur.
