ABOUT PLAN & PERSIST
Not a clinic. A strategic partner.
Plan & Persist helps individuals and families develop thoughtful plans, make meaningful progress, and build greater independence — through evidence-based practice, not one-size-fits-all programs.
We start with the why behind a behavior or a struggle, not just its surface. And we measure success progressively and longitudinally — across months and years, not single sessions.
A strategic partnership, built around you
Plan & Persist brings together behavior analysis, executive functioning, and educational consulting into a single, coordinated practice — working directly alongside families, schools, and professionals to design plans that get carried out, not just written down. Every recommendation starts with the individual in front of us, not a generic protocol.
WHAT GUIDES THE WORK
Eight principles, one practice
Planning
Every step has a purpose.
Learning
Skill built to transfer.
Organization
Systems that hold up under pressure.
Progress
Measured, not assumed.
Evidence
Data drives every decision.
Strategy
A plan, not a reflection.
Growth
Progress that compounds.
Independence
The ultimate measure of success.
GROUNDED IN THE RESEARCH
Evidence, not intuition
Meta-analyses of Self-Regulated Strategy Development consistently find large, positive effects on students’ writing quality — the basis for our explicit writing instruction.

Decades of peer-reviewed meta-analyses in the Journal of Applied Behavior Analysis and related journals support function-based behavior analytic intervention across cognitive, language, and adaptive outcomes.

Longitudinal research links executive function skills in early adolescence to academic outcomes measured years later — why we treat executive functioning as a long-term investment, not a quick fix.
