- When: 2/7/2026, 11 AM to 12:30 PM
Samantha Stewart Beatts, M.Ed., BCBA is a Regional Director at Kyo with 16 years of experience in the field of ABA. A proud alumna of Arizona State University, Samantha earned her Master’s degree in Education and became a BCBA in 2014. Samantha brings a neurodiversity-affirming, play-based approach to her work - meeting children where they are, honoring their communication styles and sensory needs, and helping families uncover learning opportunities in everyday moments. As a mom of four, she understands firsthand that progress doesn’t have to be perfect to be powerful, and that joy, connection, and dignity are just as important as data. She is deeply passionate about partnering with local families to build skills that support independence, confidence, and quality of life - on each child’s own timeline.
