ABOUT

Reframing Behavior was founded by Reggie Ponio, BCBA, to address a gap in behavioral health services: most ABA practices were built around children. Adults with IDD — in group homes, day programs, and family settings — were underserved.

We don't just deliver services — we build the capacity of the people and teams who support our clients every day. Today, we partner with organizations across the Bay Area and are developing training programs that bring evidence-based, constructional practices to the professionals who need them most

Our Story

Our Approach

We are a constructional practice. That means we focus on building skills, environments, and systems that work — rather than simply reducing behaviors. Our methods are grounded in:

Constructional approach — We ask “what should this person be doing?” before we ask “how do we stop what they’re doing now?” Building repertoires, not just managing problems.
Practical Functional Assessment & Skill-Based Treatment (PFA-SBT) — A modern, evidence-based framework for understanding behavior and designing interventions that respect the individual.
Consent and assent-based assessment — Every person we work with has a voice in their own care. We design assessments and interventions that honor autonomy and dignity.
Train-the-trainer model — Our goal is to make the people around our clients more effective — not to create dependence on us. We train staff, coach caregivers, and build organizational capacity so support continues long after our involvement.

Shared governance — We don’t hand down plans from the outside. We collaborate with stakeholders — staff, families, program directors — to make decisions together, grounded in data and shared priorities.

Who We Are

Meet the Team

Reframing Behavior is a small practice by design — but we’re growing thoughtfully. Our team includes additional behavior analysts and clinicians serving clients across the East Bay and Tri-Valley areas.

We believe in investing in the people who work here. Every team member receives ongoing supervision, mentorship, and professional development — because building staff capacity is central to everything we do, internally and externally.

Our Growing Team

The People Behind the Practice

Founder & Lead Consultant

Reggie Ponio, BCBA

Reggie brings more than 20 years of experience in applied behavior analysis, with a deep focus on adult services for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. His clinical approach is rooted in constructional methods, Practical Functional Assessment and Skill-Based Treatment (PFA-SBT), and consent-based practice.

As both a clinician and consultant, Reggie works directly with organizations and families to build sustainable behavior support systems. He specializes in training staff to implement effective practices, creating data-driven decision frameworks, and developing programs that respect the autonomy and dignity of every individual served.

Reggie is a co-founder of the Bay Area Behavior Analysis Community (BABAC) and is actively developing training programs — including the Reframing Curriculum for adult IDD staff and a workshop series on AI tools for behavior analysts. He holds BCBA certification (#1-16-22129) and is based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Clinical Supervisor

Meredith Fore, BCBA

Meredith earned her Board Certified Behavior Analyst credential in November 2025 and has quickly established herself as a cornerstone of Reframing Behavior’s clinical operations. She provides direct consultation and supervision across a full caseload of clients served through the Regional Center of the East Bay.

Meredith’s work spans individual client consultation, staff training and oversight, and clinical supervision of mid-level clinicians. Her approach reflects the same constructional, consent-based values that define Reframing Behavior — and she brings a careful, relationship-centered style to every case.

She is on track to serve as Clinical Director as the practice continues to grow.

Mid-Level Supervisor

Inna Salta

Inna brings nearly five years of experience in applied behavior analysis, dedicated to providing thoughtful, client-centered care. She values creating supportive environments that respect each individual’s dignity and promote meaningful growth.

Inna works directly with clients across the Bay Area, delivering intervention services and contributing to the collaborative, data-informed culture that defines Reframing Behavior.

Outside of work and school, she enjoys making art, staying active, playing music, and spending time in nature with animals.

Growing Together

Every six months, we set aside a day to think about the kind of practice we want to be. This session, board games first, then values, then the harder questions — where our work is going, and who each of us is becoming inside it. The people who do this work deserve time to shape it, not just carry it out.
