These reflections are shared voluntarily by former families and professional collaborators who have worked with Out of the Box Behavior Services, LLC or directly with Taylor M. Pelsis, M.S., BCBA, LBA (CT). They represent the progress that can be achieved when families and professionals work together with shared commitment, collaboration, and trust.
I had the privilege of working alongside Taylor and consistently saw her unwavering commitment to providing high-quality behavior analytic services. She approaches her work with both exceptional clinical skill and genuine compassion, always centering the needs of individuals with autism and their families.
Her strengths in crisis management, conducting thorough and data-driven FBAs, and developing effective, individualized Behavior Plans set her apart. Beyond her technical expertise, she is a knowledgeable and fierce advocate for families, ensuring their voices are heard and their goals are respected. Taylor’s passion for making a meaningful difference is evident in everything she does.

She consistently demonstrates strong analytical skills, compassion, and a thoughtful approach to problem-solving, all of which make her especially effective in the field of behavior analysis.
Taylor has a remarkable ability to assess situations, identify meaningful goals, and implement practical, evidence-based strategies that lead to real progress. She communicates clearly, collaborates effectively with teams and families, and always prioritizes ethical and person-centered practices.
What sets Taylor apart is her genuine passion for supporting individuals and empowering those around her with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive.

- Jamie Shulick, Lead ACES ASSIST Instructor
I’ve worked side by side with Taylor for three years. I can say that the last years have helped me grow immensely both personally and professionally. Ms. Pelsis is a big reason for that. She possesses the rare ability to be constructive, supportive and empowering. She helped me to truly understand how my skillset could impact the students that we worked with daily long term. She was a team player who showed herself to be insightful, brilliant, caring, helpful, honest, creative and consistent.
For her it was always about the students, every decision was to ensure that they were safe and thriving. She made me want to be the best version of myself everyday for our students. She faced every challenge with professionalism and care. Whether we succeeded or failed we did it together and she made sure that we learned from the experience so that we could handle the situation better if it should ever happen again. I am honored to have worked with Taylor. She is 1 of 1. A true leader.
- Emmanuel S., Behavior Technician, Mental Health Worker
I’ve had the privilege of working very closely with Taylor, and I can confidently say she is exceptional at what she does. She approaches her work with a level of dedication and thoughtfulness that consistently centers on what is best for each individual student. Her goals are always purposeful, data-driven, and meaningful, never just procedural. She takes the time to truly understand her students, ensuring that interventions are practical, respectful, and tailored to their unique needs.
What stands out most is her balance of professionalism and heart. She is deeply committed to student growth, yet equally supportive of the team around her. She collaborates openly, provides clear guidance, and is always willing to step in and help problem-solve when challenges arise. Her loyalty to her students and her teamwork skills, combined with her strong clinical judgment and steady leadership are extraordinary. Anyone who has the opportunity to work with her will quickly see the positive and lasting impact she makes.
- Special Education Teacher
I have had the unimaginable pleasure of working with Taylor Pelsis for the past four years. She brings a rare ability of professionalism and heart to the field that can not be taught. She handles situations with grace and data driven expertise to provide the most efficient care possible.
Ms. Pelsis is an absolute joy to work with and makes sure to communicate efficient and effectively in all scenarios, and displays a constructive and empowering ability for practical and data driven strategies.
It is true, her encouragement is what led me to take the steps into becoming a Behavior Technician. She found a way to be both supportive and critical simultaneously in her encouragement for me to pursue that new step. She provided guidance that not only allowed me to excel, but also find personal growth that I was not aware I was prepared for. The same way she did that for me she shows an unimaginable skill to instill that same level of success in every student, client or coworker around her.
- Jordan, Behavior Technician
Working with Taylor has been a meaningful experience. She’s one of the most hardworking and passionate BCBAs I’ve met, she leads with both integrity and empathy. She goes the extra mile for her clients while always making sure her staff feel supported, heard, and valued. One of the things I appreciate most about her is how she teaches. She doesn’t just tell you what to do, she takes the time to explain what ABA really is, how to apply it, and why it matters. That makes a huge difference in the level of service that gets provided. Because of her guidance, staff feel more confident and truly understand the impact of the work they’re doing.
One of Taylor’s greatest strengths is her ability to analyze challenges and problem solve effectively. She has a unique way of looking at behaviors and finding thoughtful, creative approaches to address them. She naturally bridges the gap between staff and clients, creating a supportive space where growth, collaboration, and the true principles of ABA are lived out every day.
