Why North Arrow?
Locally Owned
Our founder and owner, Jonathan Timm, was born and raised in Northern Michigan and lives here today. At North Arrow, we understand the unique needs and challenges of our Northern Michigan clients and employees. We aren’t running the business from another state – and that will never change. The work we do, and the money we earn, stays in Northern Michigan.
Community Focused
Community is at the heart of what we do. Our knowledge of the areas we serve and our relationships across Northern Michigan allows us to make life-altering impacts with not only our clients, but also their caregivers, families, classmates, and other neighbors in our community.
Committed to Quality
North Arrow is one of a very few firms to receive a 3-year accreditation from the Behavioral Health Center of Excellence (BHCOE), demonstrating our commitment not only to quality clinical services, but to the quality of our work environment and company culture.
Employee-Owner Model
All licensed behavior analysts at North Arrow are offered the opportunity to participate in our Employee-Owner program, giving them a seat at the table in determining the company’s future direction, as well as the potential to be part of the company’s financial success. We are transparent in sharing the good and the bad as we manage and responsibly grow the business.
Culture of Collaboration
At North Arrow, we work and play together. From karaoke parties to a team-based treatment approach, we support and lean on each other while also holding our staff accountable for meeting commitments and achieving meaningful outcomes for our clients.
Non-Discrimination Statement
In our commitment to upholding the highest standards of practice within the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA), we steadfastly adhere to principles of equity, inclusivity, and respect for all individuals. We recognize the diverse needs of the populations we serve and are dedicated to providing services that are not only evidence-based but are also free from discrimination based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, age, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, or any other legally protected status.
Our practices are rooted in the ethical and professional guidelines set forth by the Behavior Analyst Certification Board (BACB), emphasizing the importance of respecting the dignity and worth of all individuals. We employ a comprehensive approach to behavior assessment and intervention, ensuring that our strategies are culturally responsive and tailored to the unique needs of each individual and their community.
Through ongoing training and professional development, our team is equipped to recognize and address biases, both implicit and explicit, ensuring that our interventions are equitable and effective. We are committed to a process of continuous evaluation and improvement of our practices, ensuring they align with the core ABA principles of positive reinforcement, behavior modification, functional behavior assessment, and data-driven decision making.
This non-discrimination statement reflects our dedication to fostering an environment where every individual has the opportunity to achieve their full potential, free from bias and inequality. We pledge to work collaboratively with families, caregivers, and communities, employing ABA methodologies that promote meaningful and lasting change in a supportive and respectful manner.
