Rachel Paugh is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and the founder of Liam’s Chance Behavioral Services, a clinic located in Front Royal, VA. “As the mother of an autistic child, I’m so very excited to be a resource to people in my area. I know when I was going through the process of his diagnosis and figuring out treatment I felt very much alone. My ultimate goal was to be a resource to families in the area going through similar struggles. I want people to know that they are not alone and that there is support out there for children and families that need it.”
Rachel received her Bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from Marymount University and began working as a behavior technician about twenty years ago. She received her Master’s Degree in Special Education and certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis from George Mason University, and became board certified as a Behavior Analyst in 2018.
