Ashley Bobst is a Nurse with 19 years of experience, certified in Neurodiversity Affirming Practice, specializing in Educational/Behavioral Consultanting, and Neuro-Inclusive Interior Design. As an Autistic adult with ADHD and OCD, she brings a unique, first-hand perspective to her work. At Raising Brain, Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapy and behavior modification techniques are not part of the approach. Instead, the focus is on understanding behavior, not changing it.

As a neuro-inclusive design consultant who is a nurse certified in Neurodiversity Affirming Practice and neurodivergent (Autistic with ADHD), I offer a unique perspective on creating spaces that are both accommodating and stress-reducing for neurodivergent individuals. My expertise allows me to identify subtle design elements that might increase stress—details that could be overlooked by a neurotypical person but can significantly affect behavior.
