About Us

AIM - Autism In Motion was founded in 2017 by Gennie Tucker, BCBA, LCSW. Gennie is the parent of a child diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. At AIM, we prepare our clients to reach and achieve a future of success and independence. We provide results-oriented Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) services to children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) and related conditions. At AIM, we desire to partner with each family and client to build a program tailored to improving the quality of life for the entire family.

We strive to provide quality, evidenced based treatment, tailored to meet each child’s individual needs. We emphasize positive behavior strategies to increase appropriate behaviors such as communication, cognitive skills, social skills, motor skills, and self-help skills, while decreasing maladaptive behaviors that interfere with a child's everyday life such as tantrums, aggression, self-injury, and repetitive behaviors.

Gennie is a co-founder of AIM and the Clinical Director over our ABA program. She has been working with individuals with developmental and learning disabilities, their families and other professionals for the past 10 years. Her experience includes working with individuals ranging from 18 months to 80 years of age in a wide variety of settings including schools, residential care facilities, community outpatient programs, in homes, and in centers. Gennie specializes in applying principles of Applied Behavior Analysis to address severe problem behaviors and to help children with autism and other disabilities achieve independence.

Gennie received her Masters and Bachelors in social work with an emphasis in family studies. After working as a mental health counselor with substance abuse, domestic violence, and children with multiple diagnoses (anxiety, ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorders, down syndrome, Tourette, compulsive disorders, etc..), Gennie wanted to expand her knowledge as she became a parent of a child with Autism.

She began working with individuals with disabilities in a residential/community-based setting while attending school to become a behavior analyst. She has been a Board-Certified Behavior Analyst since 2014 and has been working with children with Autism since.

Gennie is the main contact person for all requests for service from school districts, parents, care homes and regional centers. She also coordinates staff training and development. She conducts behavior trainings for care home providers, school districts, parents, and non-public schools. She also conducts behavior assessments and provides behavior consultation services.
