Our team.

Noel Hsu, Co-Founder & Clinical Director

Noel Hsu is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst with over 10 years of experience in Applied Behavior Analysis, dedicated to making a positive impact in the lives of children with diverse abilities and their families. She believes that lasting progress is not only the result of the efforts of teachers and learners but also relies heavily on the active involvement of families and other support professionals.

With this philosophy in mind, Noel works closely with each child’s immediate support network, facilitating them to create learning environments that align with the child’s unique strengths and learning style, ultimately prompting their growth and independence. She co-founded ANT Behavior Solutions alongside a like-minded BCBA who shares her vision: to provide families with compassionate, evidence-based treatment that is both effective and supportive.

Outside of her professional work, Noel enjoys traveling and cooking. She finds joy in immersing herself in different cultures, connecting with people from diverse backgrounds, and being adventurous in trying new cuisines.
