Our Mission
BehaviorGPS was created by Patrick Thompson, an educator and behavior intervention specialist who has spent years walking alongside students, teachers, and families through some of their toughest behavior challenges.
Patrick brings:
- School-based behavior expertise
- A strong belief in parent partnership
- Practical, real-world solutions
- A passion for helping children succeed at home and at school
His work is rooted in one simple idea: every child’s behavior is communication, and every family deserves tools—not judgment. Through BehaviorGPS, Patrick offers the same calm, steady support he provides in schools, now tailored for your home.
"Parents don't need more judgment. They need practical strategies, clear guidance, and support they can trust. That's why I created BehaviorGPS."
– Patrick Thompson, Founder
Meet the Founder
Parenting a child with big emotions or challenging behaviors can feel overwhelming. You love your child deeply, but some days you’re not sure what to try next.
You might be facing:
- Tantrums that seem to come out of nowhere
- Defiance or constant power struggles
- Aggression toward siblings, peers, or adults
- Homework refusal and school resistance
- Screen-time battles that drain everyone
- Anxiety that shows up as avoidance or meltdowns
- Emotional regulation difficulties that make small problems feel huge
In those moments, it’s easy to feel frustrated, exhausted, and unsure of what to do.
BehaviorGPS exists to be your guide in those exact situations. We help you understand what is happening, why it might be happening, and what you can do next—so you can respond with confidence instead of reacting out of stress.
Why We Exist

- Behavior science
- MTSS principles
- Positive behavior supports
- Functional behavior assessment thinking
- Practical strategies parents can use immediately
Everything we share is simple, actionable, and family-friendly, so you can use it in real life, not just in theory.
Our Vision
