Stephanie Jean-Pierre

Stephanie Jean-Pierre is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) with a focus on early intervention and over ten years of experience working with children in clinical, education and home settings. Stephanie and her team strive to create meaningful behavior change that improves the quality of life for everyone in the family, not just the child receiving services. It’s a holistic approach that emphasizes teamwork, whether that team is composed of teachers, service providers and healthcare workers, or aunties, cousins and other family members.

Stephanie holds a BA in Psychology and a Masters in Applied Behavioral Analysis. She founded The House Project in September of 2020. In her free time, she sings and plays music, and enjoys cooking (and eating!) steak and potatoes. She lives in Baltimore with her husband Vladimir and their son Louis, and they love to explore and travel together, often taking short trips around Maryland or visiting family in Haiti.

Our Services

We specialize in ABA therapies and interventions

School Readiness Group and 1:1

We work with children early in life to improve social, behavioral and communication skills. One to one learning available

School Readiness

A few common life skills and behaviors that ABA helps address:

Our School Readiness Program is designed for children aged 5 to 7 years who have
successfully graduated from our Early Intervention Program or another EI program. In
this next phase, we focus on reinforcing the critical skills needed to thrive in a
structured learning environment. Children work on essential learning behaviors such
as sitting independently without adult support, following verbal and written
directions, and engaging in group activities.
This program emphasizes developing the ability to respond to classroom routines,
fostering attention, and promoting independence. By targeting these foundational
behaviors, we ensure that each child is well-prepared for success in more formal
academic settings.

Parent Training and Community
Integration

We work collaboratively with parents and schools to create an enviroment where children succeed.

Parent Training and Community Integration

ABA helps with the following:

This program is an integral part of our autism services, designed to empower families with the tools and strategies they need to support their child’s growth and development at home. Focusing on building essential skills that improve family dynamics, the program equips parents with practical techniques to reinforce positive behaviors, communication, and daily living skills in their home environment.
Every two weeks, parents participate in guided sessions with experienced professionals who provide individualized coaching, modeling, and feedback tailored to their child’s unique needs. The training focuses on teaching parents how to implement ABA-based strategies to increase their child’s independence, manage challenging behaviors, and foster social and communication skills. Additionally, parents will learn techniques to promote routine consistency, enhance sibling interactions, and create a positive, supportive family atmosphere.

By collaborating closely with the family, this program ensures that parents feel confident in their ability to extend the skills their child is learning in therapy into everyday family life, creating a more harmonious and connected household.

Early Intervention

ABA helps with the following:

Our Early Intervention Program is designed for children aged 18 months to 5 years,
focusing on building foundational skills for lifelong success. Through our
compassionate care model, we emphasize both behavior reduction and
communication development, ensuring each child receives individualized support. Our
approach helps children develop essential receptive and expressive skills, making their
transition to our School Readiness Program seamless. By prioritizing early
intervention, we aim to give children the tools they need to thrive in both academic
and social environments.
Our program fosters growth, confidence, and the ability to navigate future learning
experiences with ease. Full day schedules are available based on medical necessity

What is ABA?

Applied Behavior Analysis, or ABA, applies the understanding of behaviors–how they work, how they are impacted by the environment around them, how they change–to real situations.

It helps:

  1. Boost positive behaviors and reduce negative ones.
  2. Children communicate, focus, follow directions, and improve social skills.
  3. Achieve behavioral goals for better quality of life.
