Jessica Broome Etheredge, M.S., BCBA-LBA

Founder & Clinical Director

Jessica Broome Etheredge received her BA in Speech Language Pathology and Audiology from the University of Southern Mississippi and her MS in Behavior Analysis from the University of North Texas (UNT). While pursuing her graduate degree, Jessica had the privilege of working with a number of distinguished behavior analysts, including Dr. Shahla Ala'i-Rosales, Michael Fabrizio, Alison Moors and Dr. John McEachin. Jessica remains in close contact with her mentor Dr. Shahla Ala'i-Rosales who has been paramount to her career.

 

Jessica is passionate about enriching the lives of her clients and their families by providing effective, socially-valid, and evidence-based behavioral intervention services. She has been providing services to young children with autism and developmental disabilities for 20 years.

 

Jessica is equally as passionate about educating future behavior analysts. Through her affiliation with University of North Texas, she provides applied community service-learning experiences for students pursuing careers in behavior analysis. Jessica plans to contact local universities in the Eastern Shore and Mobile area to continue providing community service-learning experiences for students.

​

Jessica is originally from Hurley, MS. When she left the Gulf Coast she always said she would come back to provide services to the area as there aren't many choices for families. After graduate school Jessica ran her business in the DFW area for over 15 years. She moved back to the Gulf Coast in 2019. In 2022 she set up a clinic location in Moss Point, Mississippi to better serve families in the Gulf Coast area.
