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.”

“Behavior Frontiers has been a leader in providing quality ABA services to children for the past 20 years. Although Behavior Frontiers is a new ABA provider in Minnesota, the Coon Rapids center has grown rapidly in the four months that it has been open. We are already serving 14 children."

The 4 Functions of Behavior in ABA Therapy: Understanding Your Child’s Behavior

In ABA therapy, understanding the functions of behavior helps clinicians (and you) uncover what your child is trying to communicate through their behavior.

What Is DRA in ABA Therapy? (Differential Reinforcement of Alternative Behavior)

Every time your child wants to play with a toy, they have big emotions until they get it. At school, when presented with difficult work, they might run away. These are all examples of behaviors your child might exhibit to serve a communicative purpose. They might need something or want your attention. Or maybe they just want access to an opportunity. Whatever the behavior might be—it works, so it continues. Sometimes, we as adults may reinforce these behaviors without realizing it.
