You’re Among Family Here

Beelieve it!

We’re on a mission to bring hope and meaningful change into the lives of children, their families, and our fellow teammates.
Like a family, we’re here for you and each other.

Family owned and operated. After All These Years.

In 2004, our founder and CEO Tammy Cline-Soza opened the doors of our first location in downtown Plano, Texas. It was a family affair with her soon to-be-husband as the creative leader behind The Behavior Exchange brand and her brother overseeing the clinical side and ensuring quality of care. Today, it is still a family affair.

Her dream was to provide ABA therapy in a different, better way. So she replaced the gray, impersonal environment of typical autism centers back then with fun, bright colors and playful touches that would provide a warm welcome to all who visited and make learning a more joyful experience for kids.

Today, with Tammy, family, and a great team at the helm, The Behavior Exchange is a U.S. certified woman-owned small business and four locations strong with hives in Plano, Frisco,  and Prosper, Texas and Boulder, Colorado.

Everyone is Wonderfully Unique

We’ve dedicated our lives to ensure children of all abilities can be happy, active participants in their lives, connecting in meaningful ways with family and friends and helping each other be the best they can be. No one should be left on the sidelines socially, physically, or academically, especially because of a developmental disorder diagnosis. Every child and family can reach their full potential through the proven science of ABA therapy, and we never settle for anything less. Whether it’s our clients, our staff, our partners, or our communities, we are committed to being equitable, diverse, and inclusive across race, gender, age, religion, identity, and experience. It’s the only way we know how to be!

Bee you!
Everyone else is already taken.

Holistic Care for Families

An autism diagnosis impacts the whole family, so we strive to provide care that meets the needs of the entire family and empowers them to reach their full potential.

Group Parent Training (GPT)

Children learn best when ABA therapy techniques are used consistently, including at home. We help parents learn the basics and how to use what they’ve learned in real-life situations. GPT is available every month, covering different topics, and usually covered by insurance. Click on our calendar and see our monthly classes. Email us to learn more.

Parents Night Out (PNO)

Parents can use a break from their daily routine, so from time to time, we offer Parents Night Out to spotlight the importance of self-care. Just leave the kids with us and spend a few hours catching up on errands, enjoying a fun date night, or doing absolutely nothing for a change. Click on our calendar and see when we have PNO available or email us to learn more.

Navigating Insurance

Insurance can be complicated when it comes to ABA therapy, so we advocate on behalf of our clients with their insurance provider to help maximize their benefits and ensure children are receiving the hours of therapy that are clinically necessary for them to reach their full potential.

Special Events

We hold sensory-friendly events at our hives and invite families from the community to join in the fun. We are also actively involved in many community events through the year. Click on our calendar or email us to learn more.

Research Scholarship

In partnership with the Department of Behavior Analysis at the University of North Texas, we fund the Grace of a Miracle Scholarship in Behavior Analysis. The scholarship supports student research in the field of behavior analysis and how it benefits families.

You’re not alone. We can help! Contact us today!

Working with children comes naturally to Angela. Her mom was a special education teacher for 30 years and often had Angela join her for Take Your Child to Work Day. And in high school, Angela spent every summer as the nanny for a little boy with an autism spectrum disorder. It was this experience where her passion for working with children with autism started to blossom.

From there, she went on to graduate from Oklahoma State University with a Bachelor of Science in Human Development and Family Sciences. She learned about Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) in a non-normative development class and from that moment knew that ABA would be her life’s work.

Angela moved to the DFW area shortly after and began working at The Behavior Exchange as a therapist. She worked on her Master’s in Behavior Analysis at the same time. A year after graduating, she earned certification as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst.

Now, as a Clinical Director at The Behavior Exchange, she brings a life-long passion to her work, holding a special place in her heart for children with limited language skills and working closely with families to develop healthy sleep habits.

Danielle’s passion for working with families is deeply personal and from the heart. Her younger brother has an autism spectrum disorder, and through their journey as a family, she found her purpose in life as an advocate for individuals with special needs.

After graduating from the University of North Texas with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies, Danielle began volunteering at The Behavior Exchange. She saw passionate therapists, meaningful change for clients, and families with hope for the future. After a summer of volunteering, she officially joined the team as Director of Admissions and found her home with The Behavior Exchange family.

With her extensive experience working as a client advocate with insurance providers, Danielle perseveres to help individuals of all ages and abilities receive the services they need to reach their full potential. She feels truly honored by each and every family who entrusts The Behavior Exchange to be part of their journey and is committed to the organization’s core values, mission, and goal of being a beacon of hope for the community.

Adam has always had a passion for helping individuals of all ages thrive and reach their full potential. He’s also an enthusiastic musician, songwriter, leader, and devoted family man, who has been helping children and team members grow with The Behavior Exchange since 2010.

Prior to joining the team at The Behavior Exchange, Adam was a mortgage loan consultant and grad student, pursuing his master’s degree in Education at the University of North Texas. He graduated in 2013 and also earned a graduate academic certificate in Autism Intervention. The following year, after years as a Behavior Therapist and seeing first-hand the power of ABA and the meaningful impact it can have on children and their families, Adam became a Board Certified Behavior Analyst. He then commenced from the Stagen Leadership Academy after completing the Integral Leadership Program (ILP), a 52-week practice-based program designed to develop executives serious about transforming themselves, their teams, and their organizations.

Adam is truly grateful to be a part of a dynamic, inspiring and compassionate team, and he’s dedicated to bettering the lives of all children and their families through the delivery of the highest quality of ABA services, while supporting the amazing team at The Behavior Exchange.

Soraya is from South Africa and moved to Texas in 1996. She graduated from The University of Texas and pursued a career, at that time, in Education. Soraya taught at a Montessori school for a few years and then took on a leadership role.

During her time in the education system, Soraya realized her passion was to assist children with special needs. So she joined The Behavior Exchange as a therapist, transitioned into a supervisory role in 2017, and a year and a half later, was promoted to Clinical Operations Manager.

She quickly learned the ins and outs of ABA operations and scheduling and successfully collaborates across departments to ensure The Behavior Exchange continues to provide quality services to clients and their families. She’s thankful to be part of such an amazing organization and excited to see what the future holds.

You could say Walter’s career started when he spent hours as a young child drawing superheroes and coloring maps. This passion, along with extraordinary swimming skills, landed him a full swimming scholarship at Texas Christian University, where he graduated in 1997 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Communication Graphics.

During the next 13 years, his design and art direction skills, conceptual-thinking abilities, and marketing-savvy know-how were honed at a few prestigious advertising and marketing agencies around the Dallas area. In the mid 2000s, he helped his wife Tammy Cline-Soza (founder and CEO of The Behavior Exchange) create a unique and concise brand for her new business. From logos and websites to uniforms, brand voice and visuals, Walter has been the main creative force for all things The Behavior Exchange.

Aside from giving birth to The Behavior Exchange brand, Walter is helping Tammy raise two amazing, beautiful children, River and Sierra. In his spare time (the two minutes he’s got per week), you can find Walter illustrating iconic landmarks of Dallas and Texas or looking around for this next open-water swim. Once he gets back in shape.

After 20 years of building The Behavior Exchange, literally from the ground up,
Tammy couldn’t be more proud of the team, culture, and organization that it has become.

As a family helping families, The Behavior Exchanges looks for opportunities that will make the biggest impact and produce life-changing outcomes – for clients, families, and even for team members. Tammy believes that if a team, a family, a community takes care of each other, the possibilities are endless and the relationships built along the way can make life more enriching and challenges easier to navigate. You could say her goal has been to build a kind of utopia full of support, love, and expertise that brings the best services possible to the community and ensures more families have access to those services.

Tammy and her family have dedicated their lives to the mission of The Behavior Exchange and continue to grow, learn, cultivate, challenge, support, and create better models for success. To that end, she is committed to her own leadership development and actively participates in advanced training, mentoring, and deep self-exploration on how to live out her purpose to love and support her family and help others reach their full potential. She takes her position very seriously and tries to serve as a channel for what the universe wants to come to fruition.

She also loves travel, gardening, being creative, MUSIC!, tennis, yoga, meditation, journaling, reading, being in nature, adventures, and more than anything, spending time with her husband Walter and their two beautiful children, River and Sierra.
