About Us-

Behavior Doctor Seminars is a corporation led by Dr. Laura Riffel.

Dr. Riffel began her career in the early 70's volunteering at the school for the Blind. Her love for children quickly blossomed and she turned that into a career in education. She spent over 30 years working with Pre-K through adults in regular and special education.

She ran a statewide program serving any student whose behavior was impeding their learning and a day clinic for students whose behavior was cause for considering institutionalization. Her team was able to keep all of the students from being institutionalized. Dr. Riffel and her family chose to live with a good friend who had autism, bi-polar condition, obsessive compulsive disorder and intellectual disabilities. Jay Turnbull taught their family how to build a quality life for people with different abilities and she now shares those quantum secrets with her participants in trainings and seminars.

Over the years, Dr. Riffel has always been involved in professional development. She helped write curriculum guides, beta tested different interventions for university researchers, and worked on cadre teams for technology and math. Laura spent many after school hours offering professional development to her peers in behavior management and academic interventions since 1978. In the early 2000's she set up this free website to share her ideas as a way of "paying it forward."

If you have any behavioral questions, please feel free to email Dr. Riffel. She will correspond with you and help you come up with a behavior intervention plan via email. Dr. Riffel does not correspond through telephone conversations because she presents almost every day and flies almost every evening to her next destination. Email works best because it can be done at 2:00 a.m. without waking someone. Please allow 24 hours for a response due to travel times.
