Katie Daddona

Board Certified Behavior Analyst

With more than 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings, Katie is deeply committed to offering a neuro-affirming approach to behavioral services that prioritizes trust, connection, and collaboration with families.

Her career began in inner city public schools, working with young children facing complex challenges, including ODD, ASD, ADHD, and PDA. Witnessing how difficult it was for children in these settings to learn, access and engage with the tools they needed for growth, Katie transitioned to one-on-one therapy in the clinic setting, and then to working in the home setting with children and their caregivers. This journey inspired her to utilize a client-focused vision that helps families address behavioral challenges early, using a connected and holistic approach tailored to their unique needs.

Katie’s areas of expertise lie within the early intervention field, primarily focusing on supporting families and children who are at the beginning of their journey in the neurodivergent space. She holds a master of arts in Autism and Applied Behavior Analysis from the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, Connecticut.

As a mother of two young children, Katie is well aware of the challenges of parenting and the importance of providing caregivers with practical strategies to manage behaviors at home. Her holistic approach blends evidence-based practices with compassion and empathy, drawing on her expertise in family-centered care, caregiver coaching, and behavioral skills training.
