What Independent Identity Incorporated does

Independent Identity Incorporated is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered in Austin, Texas, that operates a center- and community-based Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) day program for adults (18+) with autism and intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Founded in 2019 by Jenna Taylor and operational since April 2022 from a single facility at 7801 N. Lamar Blvd, the program operates Monday through Friday from 9:00am to 3:30pm and serves individuals who often have higher levels of need and/or challenging behaviors that have caused them to be rejected by traditional adult programs. Treatment plans are designed and supervised by Board Certified Behavior Analysts (BCBAs) and implemented by Registered Behavior Technicians (RBTs), with staff-to-client ratios not exceeding 1:4. The clinical approach uses Essentials for Living assessments, functional behavior assessments, and ABA delivered in naturalistic small-group settings, targeting communication skills, vocational readiness, daily living skills, social connection, and behavior reduction.

The organization's revenue model blends recurring program fees funded through a mix of in-network private insurance, Texas Medicaid waiver programs (such as HCS), and private pay (reserved for those without other coverage), with donations and charitable contributions supporting year-round operations. Donations include cash, stocks, IRA Charitable Rollovers (QCDs), and Donor Advised Fund contributions. Annual fundraising is anchored by the Igniting Independence Gala (since 2023) and the Fairways to Independence TopGolf Tournament, drawing corporate sponsors such as Stone Hilton, HEB Helping Here, and TRC. Distribution is primarily direct-to-family, supplemented by a referral partnership with The Arc of the Capital Area and grassroots community engagement via II Ambassadors, volunteer programs, and Westlake Chamber of Commerce membership.

The organization is founder-led, governed by a Board of Directors, and operates with a small clinical team (1-10 employees total) including an Executive Director/Founder (Jenna Taylor), Clinical Director (Tina Ulrich), two Supervising BCBAs, a Clinical Operations Coordinator, multiple RBTs, and an Administrative Assistant/Billing Specialist. It reports no parent company, no external institutional investment, and no publicly disclosed financial figures; the waitlist is described as exceeding available capacity.
