About Us
We Are Octave
We're on a mission to accelerate outcomes for learners receiving behavioral and educational services by training & supporting practitioners (like you!)
The two of us were fortunate enough to have received intensive training and mentorship early in our careers in the areas of Precision Teaching, Fluency Based Instruction, Instructional Design, and Assent Based Instruction.
Given how critical these frameworks and methods have been in our work with learners, and how rare it is to find high-quality professional development in these areas, we decided to launch Octave in 2020 to make a broader impact on our field(s) and reach as many learners as possible with ethical, effective educational practices.
