Send us a text message about this episode!

Amanda “Mandy” Ralston is a founder and CEO, award-winning entrepreneur, international thought-leader, and 25-year veteran practitioner and subject matter expert in behavior analysis and autism. She has been certified as a behavior analyst since 2002. During her career she has founded two clinics that provided applied behavior analysis services to hundreds of families, schools, and individuals with autism or other developmental or intellectual disabilities. She successfully exited to the fourth largest ABA provider group in 2019. 

Her latest venture is NonBinary Solutions, a data analytics and technology firm making Clinical Decision Support Systems for providers and other constituents of applied behavior analysis and neurodiversity.

Her behavior continues to be shaped by its impact on a world where autism exists, and the field of behavior analysis. Mandy was the recipient of the Autism Innovation Award at the Autism Investor Summit in 2023.

Kathie's note: I wrote an article about Mandy in Business Lexington magazine in early 2017. I can't remember how that assignment came about; maybe I met her through a chamber event and pitched the idea to the editor? Hmm... She's one of those people I feel as if I've known forever. And a fellow Libra.
