When someone is going through a major life change or facing challenges, having the right support can make all the difference. That is where Jamie Parker comes in. 

As a Behavior Support Coordinator, Jamie works alongside individuals, families, and providers to help people get through changes and create positive ways to communicate, connect, and grow. She helps people express themselves, feel more confident, and be active in their communities. At the same time, she shares tools and ideas that families and providers can use right away to help people build independence and find more opportunities in everyday life. 

One of the most important parts of Jamie’s work is helping others understand choice and handle challenges in positive, respectful ways. By sharing knowledge and offering support strategies that build on what is already working well, she helps individuals and those around them build skills and confidence over time. 

One of Jamie’s favorite parts of her role is both learning and teaching. She values the connections she builds and enjoys helping others feel informed and encouraged. Seeing progress, big or small, is what keeps her motivated. 

Over the past two years, Jamie has continued to develop her skills through ongoing training, including becoming certified to teach CPI de-escalation strategies. She has also focused on creating positive supports that help people succeed and1 reduce the need for limitations. As part of Fairfield DD’s internal leadership program, she has further developed her leadership skills and connection to the agency. 

For Jamie, success means continuing to build her toolbox of knowledge and supporting others in meaningful ways. And as she puts it, behavior support is rewarding work. Every day brings something new, and her team is proud to do it together.
