Meet Our Behavior Frontiers Coon Rapids Clinical Director, Jeremy Roberts
Jeremy Roberts received his bachelor’s degree in psychology from Minnesota State University, Mankato. He later went on to get his master’s degree in education and applied behavior analysis from the University of Wisconsin.
Jeremy has 17 years of experience working with children with autism and other related disorders in clinic and school settings. During this time, Jeremy gained experience working with all types of children and their various needs.
He has been a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) since 2016.
A Minnesota local, Jeremy says that Coon Rapids and Minneapolis offer endless opportunities to suit a wide range of interests. “The Coon Rapids/Anoka area has a ton of local shops and restaurants. The Mississippi River runs through the city, offering many opportunities for boating, hiking, walking, and more summer fun.”
Minnesota also has a lot to offer for autism families.
“Minnesota has some of the best resources for families with a child that has autism in the country,” Jeremy continues. “The Early Intensive Developmental and Behavioral Intervention (EIDBI) benefit makes ABA services for all families with a child with autism more accessible regardless of the parent’s primary insurance."
"EIDBI services are also now free in the state of MN for those parents with a MN Medicaid plan. Minnesota eliminated the parental fee associated with MN Medicaid (for ABA services) in July of 2023, making ABA services much more accessible and affordable to our families. MN also has a strong support system for families through various state, local, and private advocacy groups.”
