Partnering for Potential: Where Compassion Meets Evidence
As the founder of Insightful Inclusion, LLC, I specialize in partnering with schools, families, and communities to unlock student potential.
I offer a uniquely balanced perspective: my professional effectiveness, refined across decades of continuing education and practice in homes, private schools, and public schools, is matched by crucial personal insight. As a parent who successfully navigated the 504 and special education processes for my own children, and serves as a special education surrogate parent (SESP) for children in state custody, I intimately understand the critical need for teamwork, transparency, clear communication, and interventions that ensure student progress.
My professional approach is built on collaboration, respect, and tangible results. With a comprehensive background as an interventionist, evaluator, and trainer (including over 15 years as a certified de-escalation and crisis management trainer), I bring practical expertise to every situation.
I work to build strong rapport with students, families, and educators, promoting a unified team. Whether I’m presenting findings from an assessment, contributing to an IEP team, or modeling interventions, I strive to bring clarity and compassion to complex cases, designing systems that promote consistent, sustainable growth across all settings.

Behavior Analyst and Educational Consultant
Kerrie M. Otipoby


For schools and parents seeking proven, person-centered support, I offer over 25 years of experience as a Board Certified and Licensed Behavior Analyst. My work is grounded in evidence-based practices and guided by a deep belief in creating inclusive, community-centered solutions for individuals with developmental, neurological, learning, and social-emotional needs.
I deeply value the expertise each professional and family member brings to the table. I'm passionate about building unified, student-centered programs that promote growth, celebrate meaningful progress, and cultivate a strong sense of belonging for neurodiverse students within their communities.
Grounded in cultural awareness and a deep respect for each child’s emotional experience, I am committed to creating a future where all students—regardless of neurodiversity—are empowered to thrive, feel connected, and access the opportunities they deserve.
Let’s work together to make that future a reality!
