Our origin
A family story gave rise to a global mission.
Mariana and Eston Greub founded Beyou Group in California after experiencing at home what humanized ABA does for a family. The group grew in clinical care, family education and research.
Over time, it became clear that serving well was not enough. For more families to have access to quality ABA, the world needed more well-trained professionals. The Beyou team had to contribute to the field by training the people who will care for the next families.
“We knew more people in the world should have access to the wonders of ABA.”
Why start with Brazil
The same need as the United States, with far fewer certified professionals.
The number of people who need treatment in Brazil is similar to that of the United States. The number of professionals with international ABA certification is much smaller. That gap is where the Institute works.
“In operations, we feel this every day: the opportunities exist. What is missing are qualified professionals ready for them.”
The co-founders
An idea that became a mission when three people joined forces.
Mariana shared the idea with Jackson and Sabrina: the Beyou team needed to train new ABA professionals, starting with Brazil. Sabrina brought operations experience. Jackson brought education and technology. Together, they stood by Mariana to get the Institute off the ground.
Jackson and Mariana have known each other since 2012, when they studied together in the United States. Sabrina has been with Mariana since the start of Beyou Behavior Therapy.

Innovation in ABA
Mother, co-founder and creator of BCEM™ and CLERA™.
From the heart of San Francisco, Mariana Bolzani Greub developed two models that put the family at the center of intervention. They have already been applied with more than 300 families in several countries.
“ABA clinicians are scarce, and caregivers can be part of the solution. We created BCEM™ to give clinicians tools that help families build skills, and CLERA™ to understand how training and coaching should be offered to each caregiver.”
BCEM™
Behavioral Caregiver Empowerment Model
Builds caregivers’ ability to apply ABA in daily routines, under clinical supervision.
CLERA™
Caregiver Readiness Assessment
Assesses each caregiver’s readiness to learn and teach, so the plan starts from where the family is.
Coming soon in Brazil
BCEM™ and CLERA™ certification for Brazilian clinicians.
Why the IBAO
Official IBAO partner in Brazil.
The IBAO was born from a hard decision. When the BACB stopped supporting the certification of professionals outside the United States and Canada, Dr. Michael Mueller and Dr. Ajamu Nkosi, Ph.D., BCBA-D, IBA, decided to fight so that ABA standards would remain within reach of the rest of the world.
They understood that copying the educational architecture of the United States would leave many professionals out, because not every country has a master’s degree in ABA. That is why the path to the IBA® goes through high-standard ABA training, created by IBAO-approved providers, focused on practice, supervision and the exam.
“The IBAO showed that it is possible to welcome professionals and countries of every background without giving up quality and ethics. That is the standard we want to bring to Brazil.”
Authorized provider
Programs aligned with the IBT® and IBA® certifications, in Portuguese.
Advisory board
Mariana is a director of the IBAO professional advisory board.
