MEET VALERIE
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst who believes data should tell a story.
Valerie Kang founded Plan & Persist after years supporting children, adolescents, young adults, and families across home, school, and community settings — bringing together behavior analysis, executive functioning, and educational consultation into one coherent plan.
“Data should tell a story, planning should have purpose, and every recommendation should be personalized to the individual and the people supporting them.”
