ABA Parent Coaching
Our ABA parent coaching services are designed to empower caregivers with practical, evidence-based strategies to support their child’s development and teach them adaptive behaviors. Through virtual sessions, we work collaboratively on goals such as toilet training, mild feeding challenges, and building routines that create meaningful change at home.

About me
Hi, I’m Mariana Del Rio, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA, and I’m the founder of It Takes a Village Behavior Consulting. I’m a Board Certified Behavior Analyst and a doctoral student in Behavior Analysis at Western Michigan University.
Before starting my private practice, I spent 8 years as the Manager of the Center for Autism and Developmental Disabilities at Henry Ford Health, where I had the privilege of leading a team of BCBAs and supporting children and families across a variety of settings. That experience deepened my commitment to accessible, high-quality care rooted in science and empathy.
It Takes a Village was born from a deep need I saw in the community: families looking for both scientifically grounded support and genuine human connection. I believe in the power of parent training, evidence-based intervention, and building strong, informed partnerships with the families we serve. The name comes from the idea that “it takes a village to raise a child”—and when a child is facing developmental challenges, that village is needed more than ever, guided by science, empathy, and commitment.
On a personal note, I’m married and a proud mom to three energetic boys, one very vocal Mini Schnauzer named Ramón, and a sassy cat named Vickie. Our home is always buzzing—and I know firsthand the joys and challenges of parenting. In my free time, I love to read, cook, and go hiking with my family.
Thank you for being here. I look forward to walking alongside you on your journey.
