Who We Are
Ignite was founded in 2020 by a child psychologist who saw families across rural Wisconsin going without gold-standard ABA therapy simply because of where they lived. Two BCBAs, Becca Prinsen and Victoria Oliversen, helped build the clinical program from day one. Today, they lead Ignite’s clinical work as Chief Clinical Officer and Chief Development Officer, and they still make every clinical and care-related decision at Ignite.
In 2022, Ignite was acquired by Jessica Schlegel and two business partners, all special education teachers who had seen firsthand what ABA could do for a child inside a classroom. What they built together started with one non-negotiable: Becca and Victoria would stay exactly where they were, leading care with full clinical authority. That’s still true today.
Jessica is now Ignite’s sole owner. Alongside Victoria and Becca, she leads an executive team built on a simple belief: decisions about your child’s care should be made by the people who understand what’s actually at stake. Ignite operates without private equity investment, a deliberate choice to keep it that way.
