Jennifer Goubeaud
Accessibility Program Manager — RaLytics School of Education
Biography
Jennifer Goubeaud is an accessibility strategist, trainer, and consultant who combines formal behavioral science training with hands-on digital accessibility expertise to advance inclusive design. With a Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis and over 20 years working with and learning from disability communities, she approaches accessibility not simply as technical compliance, but as meaningful behavior change requiring thoughtful adoption strategies.
As Accessibility Program Manager at RaLytics, Jennifer oversees comprehensive digital accessibility training programs for government agencies and commercial organizations. She translates complex accessibility standards into practical guidance for designers, developers, and organizational leaders while building genuine engagement around inclusive design practices.
Previously, Jennifer spent five years at Aspiritech, a mission-driven nonprofit providing tech careers to autistic employees, where she built and scaled an accessibility testing service line from one-off projects to more than 30 clients, including Fortune 500 companies, government agencies, and startups. Leading a neurodivergent team of accessibility testers, she achieved 100% employee retention through inclusive workplace practices and pioneered the use of AI as assistive technology to support team success. This experience provided deep insight into disability community perspectives and demonstrated how neuroinclusive practices drive both social impact and business results.
Jennifer’s clinical background as a Board Certified Behavior Analyst includes providing behavioral healthcare across diverse settings, coordinating NIH-funded neurodevelopmental research at Stanford University, and working internationally with disability service providers in the Netherlands and Czech Republic through The Global Autism Project. This foundation in behavioral science, research methodology, and direct service informs her approach to accessibility: sustainable change requires addressing motivation, reducing cognitive friction, and designing systems that support success rather than relying solely on policy mandates.
Her lived experience with ADHD further shapes her perspective on neuroinclusive design and reducing cognitive load in digital environments. She has conducted accessibility audits from a cognitive lens, developed comprehensive training curricula, and provided strategic consultation to organizations building accessibility programs from the ground up.
Jennifer is committed to making accessibility education engaging, practical, and effective, building lasting commitment to inclusive design rather than treating it as a compliance checkbox. She believes accessible digital experiences expand opportunity, reduce barriers, and create a more inclusive world.
