ABOUT JESSICA AND KIND BEHAVIOUR
Meet Jessica Bist, M.Sc., BCBA - Calgary Behaviour Consultant
Jessica Bist is a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst and co-founder of Kind Behaviour. She provides BCBA-led behaviour support and ABA-informed consultation for Calgary families, with experience across direct support, behavioural aide work, parent guidance, and behavioural consultation.
Kind Behaviour was created from years of working with, learning from, and supporting individuals with disabilities and their families. The approach is family-centred, practical, and respectful, with support shaped around real routines at home, school, daycare, and in the community.
WHY WE BUILT KIND BEHAVIOUR
Support should feel clear, respectful, and usable.
Families often carry more than people realize: appointments, school conversations, routines that are not working, safety concerns, funding questions, and the emotional weight of trying to find the right support.
Kind Behaviour was built to offer calm, organized, and compassionate support for individuals and families. The goal is to help people feel understood, know what the next step could look like, and move forward without judgment or overwhelm.
What we wanted to create
- Support that feels respectful
- Strategies that work in real routines
- Clear communication
- Follow-through families can trust

WHAT GUIDES THE WORK
Values that show up in the support.
These values are not just words on a page. They shape how Kind Behaviour communicates, plans, follows through, and supports individuals and families in real life.
Compassion with action
People should feel heard and respected, but compassion also needs to become useful support, clear strategies, and follow-through.
Respect for real life
Support has to fit actual homes, routines, communities, busy weeks, and the needs of the people using it.
Joy in the work
Disability support should include warmth, dignity, strengths, progress, and moments worth celebrating.
Clear systems
Families deserve organized communication, clear next steps, and support that does not rely on guesswork.
