Amanda "(“Mandy”) Ralston has 25+ years of experience in behavior analysis and is deeply committed to reshaping how the world sees autism. Through her latest venture and her thought leadership, she aims to transform the landscape of autism care and other neurodivergent conditions.

Certified as a behavior analyst since 2002, Mandy has founded and scaled two clinics that delivered life-changing applied behavior analysis (ABA) services to hundreds of families, schools, and individuals with autism and other developmental or intellectual disabilities. Her successful exit in 2019 to the fourth-largest ABA provider in the U.S. marked a significant milestone in her career.

Mandy is recognized internationally as a thought leader in behavior analysis, ethics, outcomes, and practice. She has served as a Subject Matter Expert on global panels, sharing her expertise to shape the future of the field. As a dynamic and sought-after speaker, she addresses audiences worldwide on topics including autism spectrum issues and her acclaimed talk, “#ItsNotBinary: Avoiding Binary Thinking in Work, Life, and Social Media.”

Mandy’s latest venture, NonBinary Solutions, and its flagship product Knowetic.ai, are on the cutting-edge of data analytics and technology, pioneering Clinical Decision Support Systems to empower ABA providers and stakeholders within the neurodiversity ecosystem.

As a queer, neurodivergent serial entrepreneur, Mandy focuses her work on fostering a more inclusive and equitable society, driven by the belief that diverse perspectives are essential to meaningful change.
