Rachel Crupi

Rachel was born in Highland, Indiana and graduated from Highland High School. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration and a Master’s in Psychology from Kaplan University. Rachel moved to Arizona almost 10 years ago with her husband and three boys after her husband retired from the US Navy following 25 years of service. As a parent of a young adult that was diagnosed with autism almost 20 years ago, giving back to the autism community has been her mission since day one.

She started as a behavior technician, but quickly became an RBT, and thereafter BCBA. Most recently she has had the opportunity of providing support to families as a Clinical Director of an early intervention clinic and providing Telehealth services to families all over the Valley. Most of Rachel’s expertise has been with early learners (ages 2-6) but she has provided ABA services to children ages 2-18 over the years in the home, community, clinic, and school settings and has been working in the ABA field for over 10 years.

As the Director of Behavior Services, Rachel has the unique opportunity to not only provide individualized behavioral plans that support each student in the classroom, but also provides a level of support for teachers, RBTs, and Caregivers that target best treatment outcomes. On campus, you can expect to Ms. Crupi regularly in the classrooms!

While there are times she needs to be at her desk analyzing data, experiencing the learning opportunities directly with students provides a level of understanding like no other. By providing continued supervision, training, and collaboration to our amazing Polaris team, Rachel will help to ensure best practices and treatment fidelity to each child’s individual treatment plan. Additional Caregiver training and support will help generalize skills from classroom to the home and community settings. Rachel believes the possibilities for our students are endless, and she is excited to support and be part of that journey! Outside of school, she loves baseball, camping, jeep’n, and exploring Arizona!
