the gradam origin story.....
My name is Matthew....
I was born with spina bifida and hydrocephalus. I also grew up with a family member with disabilities.
these experiences shaped my understanding of the world from a young age. I vowed to commit my professional life to the disability community. Throughout my career I have experienced a lot of failures, mental health challenges and attempted to reinvent myself countless times to no avail After over 20 years of experience as a special education teacher, behavior, consultant, and behavior therapist, I have found a way to allow my path to be revealed to me instead of curating one that lacked authenticity and true passion.
Gradam Behavioral Services was born after I allowed myself to receive the idea rather than looking for the next big
thing that someone else was promoting. This is the essence of my philosophies as a trainer and personal development guide. I simply wish to guide each person I connect with to receive your path as opposed to telling you what to do based on some formula or program.
​​
Gradam is a word that holds significant meaning for me and encapsulates the mission. I believe that everyone deserves to achieve glory respect, and authentic self-confidence.
Throughout my journey, I have discovered and collected valuable skills, strategies, and lived experiences that have allowed me to evolve into the most authentic version of myself to date. I coupled these things with an understanding that both growth and suffering have no beginning or end, have equal value in life and happen for me (never to me).
my goal is to share these insights with others, inspired by Picasso's belief that "the meaning of life is to find your gift, and the purpose of life is to give it away." I am passionate about helping others thrive and navigate life without having to bare all the scars they didn't ask for as i have.
