About us

Jade Enhanced Support Services (JESS) is a team of qualified behavior analysts who were tired of seeing adult consumers being mistreated and disrespected. We want to extend the principles of applied behavior analysis to help adults lead positive, fulfilling, and productive lives. Regardless of ability level, JESS believes every individual should have effective person-centered support to live in the housing and community of their choice. Whether the adult consumer has made past mistakes, had trouble being integrated into their community, or just wants to expand their interpersonal skills, JESS can develop support systems to assist the individual. At JESS, we create a positive, inclusive, and supportive environment for every individual.
