Janelle Deveau is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and Clinical Director at Forta, where she mentors a team of roughly 40 BCBAs and helps shape the clinical standards guiding the organization's practice. She also oversees how clients are matched with their BCBA.
She holds a master's in Applied Behavior Analysis with an emphasis in autism, built on an undergraduate degree in psychology with minors in human development and sociology — a foundation that oriented her early toward the social and developmental contexts shaping behavior. She has been certified since 2019.
Matching is the part families rarely ask about and most often feel. A good pairing means a clinician whose specific experience fits this child, not the next available name on a list, and getting it right shapes most of what follows.
