Success Stories

Regional Director - Seattle North

Grace Gayles, M.A., BCBA, LBA

“Attending the Autism Leadership Academy has been a life-changing experience, propelling my personal and professional development to greater heights. Since becoming a regional director, I have honed my leadership skills to include greater compassion, teamwork, and a focus on achieving results.

I have magnified my outreach skills, collaborated with other professionals, and improved the culture and quality of ABA services in my community. At Kyo, I feel valued as an individual and am so grateful to be part of an organization where I can truly help make every moment count.”

Regional Director - Peninsula/South Bay/Santa Cruz

Miles Lagunas, M.Ed, BCBA

“My journey with Kyo began as a Behavior Therapist in October 2015, and thanks to the incredible mentorship and leadership development opportunities Kyo has provided, especially Kyo's ALA program, I’ve now grown into the Regional Director for Kyo's PSB region. The ALA equipped me with the skills and confidence to become an effective leader, balancing clinical excellence, team development, and operational growth while staying grounded in Kyo’s mission of making meaningful differences in the lives of others.”

Regional Director - Nashville

Hayley Wray, M.Ed., BCBA, LBA

"Starting in a brand-new region with Kyo was both exciting and challenging. Participating in Kyo’s Autism Leadership Academy equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and confidence to succeed in my role as Regional Director. Through the ALA program, I strengthened my leadership abilities, learned to communicate and collaborate more effectively with community providers, and built a team grounded in Kyo’s mission to Make Every Moment Count. The experience not only helped me grow as a leader but also enabled our team to create meaningful opportunities for the families we serve. I’m incredibly proud of the impact we’ve made in our community and grateful for the opportunity to help drive lasting, positive change."
Professionally, I have learned how to improve my network, establish strong collaborations with other professionals in my field, provide services that are in the best interest of each client, and ethically grow my region with client and employee satisfaction.

Personally, the training has improved my self confidence. I better understand, use, and manage my own emotions in positive ways to relieve stress, communicate effectively, empathize with others, and overcome challenges. At Kyo, I receive continuous mentorship and I was trained on how to mentor others. I grow every day and I have the opportunity to help others grow. I found a family here at Team Kyo.”
